You can do that now with Squeak. I would imagine a design like Spoon would  
make such things easier. (Some of Craig's derscriptions remind me of IBM's  
touting of SOM in the early '90s: You would run programs made of objects,  
but you'd never have to know/care whether the objects were on a PC, a  
mainframe, on your local hard-drive or somewhere else in the world, etc.)
