Sorry, I should have been more specific. I understand that full closures are supported. What I'm asking is whether it is planned to move to the implementation of FullBlockClosure in Squeak that better models closures. In the current version of Cuis (7.6), the bytecodes for a block are embedded in the CompiledMethod where they are defined. Whereas in later versions of Squeak, the bytecodes are in a separate CompiledBlock that is referenced as a literal in the enclosing method. It makes doing certain things less awkward. Squeak actually supports both approaches (presumably for backward compatibility) ... I would prefer one approach or the other.
