Silly hack to add functions to Smalltalk

Create new class Functions

create new methods #funcall: and #funcall on Symbol
Symbol >> funcall: funArgs
^Functions perform:self withArguments: funArgs
Symbol >> funcall
^self funcall:nil

define whatever functions u want on class side of Functions.

invoke the function like
#+:and: funcall:#(3.4) ==> 7

where #+:and: is
Functions >> class >> +: a and: b
^a+b

Just a y'day night hack before sleeping :) Haven't used for anything
yet and hardly to ever ;)
