In the tinySelf 1 interpreter, the code that handles DELEGATEE
looks at the next bytecode (after any index extension ones, of
course) and generates an error if it isn't a RESEND bytecode. If
it is, then a directed resend is executed.

So a RESEND bytecode is only seen by the outer loop of the interpreter
if it was *not* preceeded by a DELEGATEE; then a non directed
resend is executed.
