[self-interest] Re: Objects with dynamic slots

Great.   However, I think, for mySelf, I'll stick with a single argument
#unknownMessage: slot that gets a Message object instead of that multi
argument monster of original Self.  I understand that they probably wanted
to omit the time to create the message transport object, but if you agree
that you cannot modify or store that object, you could preallocate one per
VM (thread).

How would you do it in Self/R?

I'll do.
