Please don't. Pin is assumed to answer whether the the object was 
already pinned or not, and the primitive is assumed to pin/unpin as 
requested if it doesn't fail. Please keep the primitive failing if 
pinning is not supported. I just pushed an update to handle that 
situation. Now #pin and #unpin silently answer false if the primitive 
fails, so calling code can be aware of the situation.

Another update just pushed for that.

Yes. I just pushed an update to just unpin the old objects, and removed 
the GC. It shouldn't be needed at all.

Oh, good catch! Just fixed that too.

Thank you so much for taking the time to carefully test Cuis on 
SqueakJS. Hopefully no special hacks in the VM will be needed to run Cuis.

Cheers,
