Hi Chris,

Exupery should be able to handle Magma's materialization process. It
doesn't really deal with the types of instance variables, just types
in methods. A send to an instance variable is inlined and type
guessed, not the instance variable itself. The same is probably true
for Strongtalk.

That said, there is a small risk that any inlining heuristics may
inline a proxy instead of the real domain object. This should be
unlikely. Exupery only inlines primitives for now. Full method
inlining is waiting for version 2.0. As everything is written in
Smalltalk and planning inlining is separate from the compiler if it
does inline proxys or the OIDs it should be easy to patch it to
understand a little more about Magma.
