Some questions about Spoon

[Craig Latta]

Hi Marcus--

     Yes, I believe so. Imprinting is extremely powerful. Compiled
methods (in particular, their literals) are transferred accurately as
they are run. I have successfully imprinted the exception-handling
support, as well as the ClassBuilder. I think those are very compelling
demonstrations.

> Spoon may change the game so much that it's indeed doable...

     I think that's a good way of putting it.


     thanks,
