That would be *great*. This is another one of those little lies where
"everything is a message send" and "late binding everything" breaks down,
like inlining boolean/undefined ops, that can confuse/shock newbies. It
probably made sense given the tech constraints at the time, but it would be
wonderful not only to increase the beauty and simplicity of the system, but
for the possibilities it opens up!
