WideSymbol>>#privateAt:put: fails silently

 
If you inspect

('hello', (Character codePoint: 8002) asString) asSymbol
        privateAt: 1 put: $q;
        yourself.

The symbol is not modified but also it raises no error. Shouldn’t that be the case?

Is this a Pharo question?

In Squeak (64 bit Spur) there is no privateAt:put: and at:put: raises errorNoModification
as expected for a WideSymbol.
