symbol, value and 3.9

Hello,

How should the following (new for 3.9 ) be used?:

Symbol>>#value:

Thanks,

Julian

> How should the following (new for 3.9 ) be used?:

(1 to: 10) collect: #squared

is the same as

(1 to: 10) collect: [ :each | each squared ]

This can be quite convenient. Don't think this is a speed
optimization, because there is no block-activation. Strangely the line
with the block is slightly faster in 3.9.

Cheers,
Lukas
