<p>Hi Marcel,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>that's a fair point. :-) How can we get rid of Alien in #recreateSpecialObjects? Would it be okay to move it into something like "Alien initialize"? Or should #<span>recreateSpecialObjects provide hooks/arguments to keep control of this central array?</span></p>

<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 16px">Now think again about modularity and global state. ;-) Take the slot for "Alien" as an example, which I replaced in "FFI-Callbacks". Projects are free to switch between compatible
classes as the VM will happily produce the new instances. While this may not be true for all slots in the special-objects array, it is still true for many of them. So, #</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 16px">recreateSpecialObjectsArray

<p>Hi Marcel,</p>

</p>
<p>why do we need a redundant #initialize method for this? Wouldn't it have been enough to trigger #recreateSpecialObjectsArray in a postscript? Duplication hurts :-)</p>
