Hi Guys,

For some experimentation I wanted to have the ability to have *any* object
act as a compiled method, so that it can be 'invoked' as if it were a
function. I've just published a package for this at SqueakMap.

>From the description:

Nothing for the faint-hearted. This package is a VM modification which
allows
arbitrary objects to 'act' like CompiledMethods. In other words, if you want
to have some object to act like a method you merely add it to the
appropriate
method dictionary, like in:

Object addSelector: #foo:bar: withMethod: FooBarAlgorithm.

When you now say something like:

     someObject foo: 42 bar: 'mumble'.

the special message #run:with:in: will be sent to FooBarAlgorithm so you
could
handle it like this:

FooBarAlgorithm class>>run: originalSelector with: argsArray in: aReceiver
   "Run the FooBarAlgorithm when invoked via originalSelector from
aReceiver.
argsArray contains the arguments passed along with the original invokation."

Pretty cool, eh? Needless to say, the package requires a new VM. Without it,
the supplied tests will horribly crash your system.

Cheers,
