In bob's case these are scripts that will run in a different image, so do not necessarily compile in Bob's image. In mantis's case these are the bug reports downloaded for searching and reference purposes. I dont regard this as a hack since Smalltalk is designed to have this flexibility of supporting differnnt languages, and syntaxes. If you dont like it then why not remove #compilerClass altogether. If you call this a hack then what is WAFileDirectory? You would think that using methods to store data in the image has never been done before.
