yes.
Lars is aware of that :) as he was in the self team. Basically you
still need some
cooperation from the VM so that you get the right entry points in your
mirror.
In a squeakish context (or may resilient we will see)
We may try to do the following:
- take island of lex as a testbed,
- break it as much as possible
- everytimes we can break it, we try to come up with a new MOP entry
(may be
modelled as a mirror) in the context of a minimal squeak kernel with
nearly no reflection
I think that the result could be a mop targeted as security/sandboxing
with really nice properties.
Something more fun than trace generating.

Lukas our clever astrophysicist started to think about that (ok he is
just forced to follow astrophysic lectures)
