[Help-smalltalk] Symbols in array literals

[Mike Anderson]

I would really like to be able to dispense with the # in front of
symbols in array literals. In other words, I would like the following to
be valid:

#(1 two nil)

I think that Squeak accepts this, and I notice that the STInST compiler
does too. How about it?
