Interesting code. Don't let anyone scare you off from experimenting
with this sort of cross-idiom translation from one lang to another,
as you can glean your own individual style from doing so. Personally I
tend to work the other way, exporting smalltalkism's into c++, but
no matter. D.N.S. is right, smalltalk has no need of case because we
have #perform:, which is a more powerful and elegant construct. 

Happy hunting,
DRS
