As already pointed out elsewhere, this is compile-time. It can be bypassed
by perform: and probably by other hacks like storing an association to the
code elsewhere with another name. I'm after a mechanism that can protect
private methods against determined crackers within an image; in a multi-user
game, you can't assume everyone with code access is friendly. This will
involve the VM.
