Straight to the note file, thanks ! :)

Since there is a universal trick to do it i think it is better not to 
add a method.
Still I don't know well how Juan decides the pruning to keep Cuis on 
shape, so better not to add this.
I have another change that has already been approved and still i have to 
implement it ;)

In Italy we don't have this luck, it is read in English or nothing.

Modules usually are just namespaces ... the only use I can figure out
for this is in Smalltalk is to avoid Classes name clash since most
of other variables should be inside objects or classes.

in Python of course they are very important, since it is the only way
to put variables in some kid of default cage, the file they are defined 
in, if i remember well.

I don't know about Environments in Squeak, well ... with time ;)
I put also this in my note as: "To see: Environments and Haver, similar 
to Python modules".
