Hello All,<br>
<br>
I need a villainous superpower that I haven't needed before, can anyone<br>
tell me how to achieve this.<br>
<br>
I have some code like this:<br>
<br>
self send a message to me.<br>
self nextThing.<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
self send a message to me.<br>
A := self nextThing.<br>
<br>
What naughty superpower code can I put in to #send that will jump<br>
execution to self nextThing directly?<br>

<br>
<br></div></div>
send<br>
...<br>
thisContext sender jump: 4<br>
<br>
This skips 4 bytecodes in the calling method before returning, so instead of pc=31 it continues at pc=35:<br>
