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.

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.

Cheers,
