Is it safe to use the AST-Core-Parser class extension "readFrom:" in a business application?

Maybe no. It is bound to smalltalk syntax and the allowed number literals. For example, a '+' sign in a float exponents has some suprising behavior

Number readFrom:'3e4' "-> 30000"

Number readFrom:'3e+4' "->3"
