[Glass] Differences between Symbol/String #= in Pharo and GemStone

[Sebastian Heidbrink]

I had the same problem during my first steps.

Here is what Dale wrote me at that time:

" This is another case where code has to change ... Pharo does not 
conform to the ANSI standard for String and Symbol comparison (and 
GemStone does conform).

In Pharo Strings and Symbols can be used interchangeably and that wreaks 
havoc for GemStone ... "

He also mentioned that the "usual" Dictionary is usually performant 
enough and Strings for comparison are save under Gemstone.
