I already know Squeak and Pharo and some other Smalltalk dialects and
happy that you provide us with my favorite programming environment :)

So, there's room for later enhancements :D

You will get some comments you should follow. If everything is fine
(approved) you will be asked to "squash" all your commits into a single
one (we want our repository to be clean) and then one of the maintainers
will merge your
PR into oi-userland.

Best regards,
