OSCogVM:
  Support object-as-method:
	Eagerly evaluate the interpreter version of a primitive
	to ease the object-as-method implementation and to
	improve interpreter performance.
	Refuse to enter anything that isn't a CompiledMethod
	into the method-lookup cache to avoid open PICs having
	to check for valid compiled methods.
	Have various places check for isOopCOmpiledMethod:
	rather than isCompiledMethod: to allow SmallIntegers to
	be used as methods.
Interpreter:
	Have various places check for isOopCOmpiledMethod:
	rather than isCompiledMethod: to allow SmallIntegers to
	be used as methods.
Slang:
	support super sends by expanding them at translation
	time.  This allows CoInterpreter>>addMethodToCache
	to avoid cacheing non-compiled methods via a super
	send, avoiding duplicating SrackInterpreter's method.
