I pretty definitely remember this activity WRT Squeak.  But just because I'm
sure doesn't mean I'm right. :->

BTW, anybody who wants to play with Smalltalk in its elemental form should
definitely look at Tiny Smalltalk.  Timothy Budd had done a very toy-like
Smalltalk years ago, and then did a new generation of the system which was
pretty much a true (if minimalist) Smalltalk system.  It had coasted to a
halt with the source sitting on his web site, and I tidied it up some and
it's available at:
