Well at a quick look it appears plausible - but I have a much simpler  
idea. Eliot solved this problems in 1987 - in fact I *think* he was  
the first so to do but wouldn't bet any large amount of money - and  
the basics are described in his seminal paper from the 87 OOPSLa  
proceedings.

Since he is currently employed to do work in Squeak it seems entirely  
reasonable to me to see if he would (re)solve the problem for us.
