These are PassByConstruction objects, which means they are always local. PassByCopy is another type of PassByConstruction, where a copy is marshalled to the other side.
Hmm i can't follow you here. Could you elaborate?
Sorry, this is terminology from E. They have a whole terminology describing how objects get passed over the wire between Vats.

The restriction that PassByCopy objects are selfless, immutable and transparent certainly apply to SmallIntegers, true, false, and nil. I don't know about Characters, but that is their terminology. We can define ourselves.
