Hi all,
This is just a courtesy note to let you know I'd like to push these
items into trunk sometime soon, perhaps this week. A couple of these
items received no feedback, which may be a good sign since they were
all well tested. Here's a summary:
_________________
Monticello-cmm.696
We have a couple of places where we're able to check the
package-cache. The intention is to improve offline access with a side
benefit of reducing network and server load even when on-line. There
is no intent to subvert any benefits of the proxy server, it still
helps us when it's not in the cache.

Installer-Core-cmm.431
Jakob, the last question we had about this was about restoring the
underscore assignment preference. At first I struggled to type the
code to subvert other code in the system, going on/off just to avoid
it while leaving underscores in the image. But I can see that at
least we could ensure _new code_ doesn't get further written with
underscore assignment. This 431 restores the prior setting.

Collections-cmm.819
Message: Let Strings have the same #name as the object they name,
sans Smalltalk syntax. Allows the #name of either to be used as a
lookup key.
I submitted this in January but, Levente, you recently made a comment
about not liking Object>>#name -- which I can *totally* understand,
but fear it may be too late to go back. I don't know, so, I didn't
want to advance the system further into dependence on all objects
having a #name before getting your thoughts. We probably should
discuss in a separate thread.

Environments-cmm.75
Keep and access Classes and Traits by their #name's logical value
instead of the physical identity of the String object.
I probably won't push this one this week but was curious whether
anyone has loaded this. There should be no noticeable impact, please
let me know if that was the case.
