Oh, yes, there is another approach to this kind of thing, and there is a
partial solution available already.

Write a slang->machine code comiler in Squeak and add support prims to
do all that cush-flaching stuff. We had a working ARM version at
Interval and the code is on my website for anyone interested (Lee
Salzman is playing with it for example) in trying to make it more
portable.

'translator' or something like that.
