No, it won't. The temporaries don't leak, it is just an
implementation detail that they are implemented using an
internal BindingDictionary.
Oh, in that case I would expect, having no other input, that it stuffs
the value in Namespace current, as messy as that may seem from a
Smalltalk perspective.
Sure, that was clear. Your example could be actually as
simple as
a := 42.
Object compile: 'gotcha "shouldn't compile!" ^a'.
So compiling a method captures the current temporaries dictionary?

Failure to imagine vast possibilities usually stems from a lack of
imagination, not a lack of possibility.
