Not really. Self is based of the idea to have a good, dynamically
optimizing compiler. So they can just use message sends to describe
instVarAccess. (Remember, there are only slots in Self which unify both
mothods and instVars). But then the system can just inline  
everything, thus
get rid of the send.
