Listing the variable names defined in a workspace or REPL session

Hello,

How can one list the variable names defined in a workspace or in a REPL session?

For example, after executing these commands on terminal:

$ gst
GNU Smalltalk ready

st> foo := 2
2
st> bar := 3
3

I want to get the variable names 'foo' and 'bar' in a collection or something.

A second question, are there any resources I can learn about such reflecting capabilities of Smalltalk?

Here is a huge hack:

xyxyxyxy := nil. (#{xyxyxyxy} instVarAt: 3) keys
