Hi Rick!

Welcome to Pharo!
I think that most of us understand the value of being able to make run on Pharo an application written in ANSI Smalltalk. However, I believe that making Pharo ANSI compliant is not a priority at all.
  Instead, the highest priority for Pharo that many of us are working hard on is making Pharo suitable for business applications.

Hello. I���m futzing about with Pharo3 and figured I might as well try to fix some (easy) bugs that are listed in the issue tracker as a way of playing productively. In particular I���m looking at 13215 which led, circuitously, to me reading the ANSI Smalltalk draft (v 1.9 I believe). 

I was wondering if the ANSI draft is at all useful or considered? It appears the existing impl of Duration doesn���t adhere to the draft entirely well and, well, I was just going to (try to) make it be that way, more or less. Is that reasonable?

And, while I have you all here, would it have been more appropriate for me to ask this question in the issue tracker instead of here?

TIA for any input,
���Rick
