Hi - I really like the playground metaphor, it really is such a nice way to 
experiment.

However I've noticed that unlike older versions of Smalltalk, it seems that 
DoIt operations in playground don't end up in the .changes file anymore (which 
I guess is a mixed blessing when you want to recover). It seems that the new 
metaphor is that work you do is saved as a page and you can see versions of 
your page in the upper right menu? Well sort of - as I haven't quite understood 
when it saves or doesn't? Often I get duplicate looking pages in that menu and 
often I make a change and want to keep it but find it doesn't save and if I 
accidentally close my playground my changes in a page are lost? 

What are the semantics of page saving?

An example  - if you do a few gofer loads of utilities and the put a comment on 
the first line of the page (which gives it a nice title in the page dropdown), 
sometimes that comment will be saved other times not?

I also think it might be nice to remove page versions to help tidy things up. 
I'm thinking of rolling my sleeves up on this idea - but wanted to understand 
the vision firsts
