yes, we could move it up to Association... but we should keep VariableBinding as a subclass of Literal so that people in the future e.g. can put a halt on a variable defined in the workspace.
And yes, in general we need a nice API for the compiler to hand bindings to it... it is on my TODO list.

This Slice adds an API to the compiler to set a dictionary with bindings to be taken into account. They are compiled as pushLinteralVariable: (thus refer to the association of the dictionary)
Smalltalk compiler bindings: { #a -> 3 } asDictionary; evaluate: '1+a'.
This is now in Pharo5 update #032
Thanks Marcus, this should be very convenient. Thierry
