And get from late binding (which is the entire point of Smalltalk) to early binding (which is the entire point of C) since you can't override any immediate inst var accesses. Argh! How I hate this...

Hi.
I think it would be a good idea to remove the self sends from any fix, and replace
self someInstanceVariablePlainAccessorMethodNamedTheSame
with
theInstanceVariableItself.
Because then you start adding message sends and that is time expensive.
Andres.
