I am a connection to another Smalltalk environment.
The implementation creates an iframe on the same location as the window, and connect to the Amber environment.



## Usage example:

	| space |
	
	space := ObjectSpace new.
	space do: [ smalltalk ] "Answers aSmalltalk"
	(space do: [ smalltalk ]) == smalltalk "Answers false"
	
	space release "Remove the object space environment"!
