I'd call it a feature, unless the scripting syntax will make it possible
for method definitions to refer to "lexical globals":

st> a := 42.
st> Object subclass: Everything [
        Class current [
            ^a]]
st> Everything current printNl.
42

Sorry if I got the syntax wrong, but hopefully you see it.
