Can anyone comment on how much work would be involved in
1) Adding a new 32bit field to the object header
2) Adding a new immediate type like integer, presumable by adding
another tag bit.
I'm just looking for a very rough estimate. Do these tasks involve
tracking down a bunch of constants and then rebuilding everything,
tedious but a with a known path to follow. Or will this involve much more.
regards Joerg
