I wanted to understand what: '	Have various places check for isOopCOmpiledMethod:
rather than isCompiledMethod: to allow SmallIntegers to be used as methods.'
means
	in which circumstances do we want to have smalltalkIntegers used as methods?
	when we put an object instead of a compiled method and that by accident this is an integer?
