Has anyone implemented a lisp or schme in Smalltalk? How hard would it be to handle local variable bindings?

When the workspace is remove the variables go away. I'm not sure how close that is to what you are talking about but this was implemented using a dictionary in the workspace to keep track of local variables. -tim
