Well, hopefully that would be value of the plugin execution engine idea.
Also I'd like to include the old Interval translator code somehow to
allow on-the-fly generation of plugins, maybe even VM fixes.
Actually I suppose there might even be room to do something a bit
HotSpot-ish and have a simple minded interpretation engine and a
Smalltalk direct-to-machine compiler to hit on common code. I guess now
that there are only three cpu architectures that matter (ARM, x86 & PPC)
there is a bit less to worry about when developing a translator.
