It's very good for you to admire this idea, but Self never implemented
anything like it. The VM and the optimized code is/was separate from the
image, and was a big source of problems that way.

About Self as a UI builder, it was designed to save the behavior of
course, but there was a separate tool to pull object groups out of images
to put them into other ones. It works reasonably well, but all of this was
ever only a prototype (sic).
