That is the reason I wanted to see the docs.  There appears to be some
differences in the implementations.

No doubt but Smalltalk isn't the only typeless language as you know.  I used
to work with Clipper which is both typeless and supports code blocks.
Interestingly BCPL (the precursor to B and ultimately of the C language) was
(and still is) typeless and supports anonymous procedures.

You have to take a breath once in awhile... we're not all heathens.
