Ah, then I misunderstood what you implemented.  I've been wondering for a
while about some oddness I've been experiencing... now I understand the
source of it.  I misunderstood and thought that `0 at 0` resulted in a
globally unique instance similar to true or #foo, not 3.  That's what my
original Point class>>zero proposal was going for.

Says you ;-)  I need globally unique instances.  No big deal, the literal
syntax at least greatly reduced the number of instances out there.  I can
use this approach as part of the solution to get it down to one when I
build my image.
