While I've never looked at the 'C' generation stuff, I'm not at all 
surprised by the last part of your statement above ("...there is no 
message lookup").

Of course, a Smalltalk subset that doesn't have message lookup seems 
like it would be a rather infinitismally small subset indeed.  At first 
blush, this seems like it would be limited to all of the special methods 
that get inlined or otherwise avoid the messenger.  If so, that is a 
*very* small subset indeed!

I guess someday I'll just have to go look and see how big that subset 
actually is.
