I haven't
looked at Squeak's VM in detail, but from a quick look at ObjectMemory, I would
say it seems to be exposing the guts of the VM implementation, and thus wouldn't
be the right place for a common interface. Something like that might be
the right thing as the low-level interface for the long term goal of rewriting
the Strongtalk VM in Slang or something like that, but for a common interface,
we would want something that hides all the details of heap structure, object
structure, etc, i.e. abstracts the VM functionality.
