So I added an example of ProcessLocalSlot (like a thread local from other languages) using the existing ProcessLocalVariable. A variable has different values depending on the process the code is executing.

Example of usage:

Object subclass: #TestLocal

slots: { #local => ProcessLocalSlot }

classVariables: { ��}

category: 'SlotTestGuille'.

object := TestLocal new.

object local: 55.

object local.

[ valueInOtherProcess := object local ] fork.

valueInOtherProcess. "=> nil"

[ object local: 'String'.

valueInOtherProcess := object local ] fork.

valueInOtherProcess. "=> 'String'"

object local "=> 55"

Pardon my ignorance, but can Slot definitions be composed like traits?

Because I can imagine wanting, say ProcessLocal + mmm... Static, without having to combine the two properties in a class with a gnarly inheritance tree, or a factorial number of classes combining different defining traits...
