Doesn't the VM already send #value? Or else how would references that
were Undeclared at compile time be resolved at runtime? AFAIK, the
methods have references to VariableBindings and send #value whenever
they're accessed. All you need to do is get a different class of
VariableBinding into the Smalltalk dictionary.
