This is supercool that you propose a working solution.
I'm going over the Mooc exercises (text version first to get redy to
shoot the videos).

anyone an idea?
I'm trying to think.
Looks like it would be good to be able to make a distinction
between symbols and selectors (selectors installed
in method dictionaries)
yes, this would improve code completion a bit, too, as there are
more symbols than symbols that are actually names
of methods.
The data could be created per environment (Smalltalk globals) the
first time and then cached till shutdown.
(it would be an array of size 46451, pointing to existing symbols).
The environment could cache sent selectors, too… pablo did an
experiment with that.

How about a new SymbolTable "SelectorTable" that gets new entries on
every method compilation ?
I hacked a simple experimental version.
But I don't yet understand the workflow for initialisation of the
Symbol class (with rehash, interned, and compacting).
