Hmm, yes, but are you saying it goofed in 

A) Allowing me a capitalized temporary variable?  The capitalization 
of Class/Global variables is a convention in PPS Smalltalk, but can be
overridden.

B) Allowing me to lose access to one of my class variables, when, as
you pointed out, it doesn't allow me to hide an instance variable?

Sorry if this seems trivial, but I'm in the process of writing a
pidgin Smalltalk compiler.
