The value of the method name is at:put:
# denotes a Symbol, which is a subclass of String. The difference between the
two is that two symbols with the same value will actually be the same object,
while this is not necessarily the case with strings:
stringA := String newFrom: 'string'.
stringB := String newFrom: 'string'.
stringA == stringB
“false".
symbolA := Symbol newFrom: 'symbol'.
symbolB := Symbol newFrom: 'symbol'.
symbolA == symbolB
"true"
