Yes please.  Almost everything I'm likely to put in Compiler, Kernel or
System on Squeak 4.1 belongs in all dialects using the closure compiler.

What's happing here is that very old primitive failure code that allowed the
closure system to run on old VMs without closure support depended on
BlockClosure>>asContext, which had a bug in it.  So the changes reflect the
bug fix but are enclosed in false ifTrue: [] because they really are
obsolete, but the code is retained because its useful documentation of how
the closure primitives should work.  I hope this makes sense!
