<div class="">Squeak and Pharo compatibility are no concern here
(for me). I was referring to it as explanation that backticks
did not arrive (historically) in Cuis because of possible
ancestors/nephews/… My earlier question about naming referred to
Pharo because IF possible I would like to write code that does
not require much ‘porting’. But keeping compatibility is again
not a major concern for me.</div>

I added backticks. I wanted a concise syntax for literals, and at
the time was using bash quite a bit. I realized that the way bash
uses backticks could be useful in Smalltalk too, and at least would
be familiar for some. So I did it.<br>
<br>
Note that Squeak and Cuis also includes #[1 2 3 4] for literal
ByteArrayes. Inspired by that, I added #[1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0] for
Float64Array.<br>
