Er, my only comment on this is that although
in C it's defined as

sqInt success(sqInt);

but it's written as
success: successValue
        successFlag := successValue & successFlag.

which resolves as
sqInt success(sqInt successValue) {
register struct foo * foo = &fum;
        foo->successFlag = successValue && foo->successFlag;
}
or
sqInt success(sqInt successValue) {
        foo->successFlag = successValue && foo->successFlag;
}
or
sqInt success(sqInt successValue) {
        successFlag = successValue && successFlag;
}


so what does
  [ ... ^ self success: true]
actually return?
