MemoryAccess is a version of the sqMemoryAccess.h macros implemented in
Slang. To my surprise it seems to perform just as well as the C macros,
and it is handy for inspecting the generated C code if you are looking
for type declaration problems and improper casts. It is described here:

SlangBrowser permits you to browse the generated C code interactively
in the image. It is described here:

There are some hacks required to get SlangBrowser integrated into the
browsers (it's different for Squeak 3.8 and 3.9+). I have not yet tried
getting this working for Squeak trunk, and I'll probably be needing some
advice on that as I'm almost certainly not doing it in a good way.
