Eliminating pre-closure compiler code

Hi All,

as part of the transition to full blocks for Squeak 6 I'd like to clean up and eliminate the old pre-closure compiler code (for blue book non-reentrant blocks). Can anyone see value in retaining this old code? Strong feelings either way?

_,,,^..^,,,_

best, Eliot

Hi Eliot

Please go ahead. It will make the compiler code easier to read.

I can't think of any reason to keep it. You might need to update the
appendix to the blue book though ;-)

The image has always not had the pre-closure compiler code.
