I withdraw my choice of words. Let's leave "Behavior" with its Smalltalk 
meaning -- it's the thing instances point to from their special class 
pointer (what is this actually called). For what I was calling "behavior", 
how about "code"? An object would then be a combination of state and code.
Or should we adopt the Actors term "script"? Do either have any conflicts 
with the Squeak universe I should know about?
