Well, obviously my curiosity is killing me! Apart from that, I'm
evaluating ideas for a version control system, where the different
forks can live side by side. I was looking at Smalltalk Changeboxes
and similar approaches. In Squeak, virtualizing method calls requires
hooking into the compiler. In Self, in theory, it would be as easy as
exchanging the lobby.

Thanks so much for the insight! Umm, I assume I find the Self files in
the source tarball? I'll see if I can do that.
cheers,
Niko
