Jecel,

Thanks for taking a look at Caper. :)

Beta is not an influence, since I haven't seen it. :)  I'll take a look.

I wrote:

'... unlike Self, Caper reveals the internals of a method as *objects* down to its "bytecode"... ' [emphasis added]

I haven't used Self, but from the PRM it looks to me as though the bytecode for a Self method object is not itself an object, nor accessible through the slots of the method object.  I did assume that Self's bytecode could be read using mirrors.

Cheers, Paul
