CGeneratorEnhancements-ajh.cs requires that senders of
sharedCodeNamed:inCase: not take any args because the args will be named
differently when inlined.  These methods should be changed so they pass
values via new Interpreter instance variables that are specially
translated to local interpret() function variables (like localSP and
others, see senders of inlineDispatchesInMethodNamed:localizingVars:). 
John must of made these changes to Interpreter in one of the other two 
changesets.
