Note that VW's #changeClassTo: is built upon Behavior>>adoptInstance: which
is a much better primitive for the VM to implement since it can assume the
receiver is a valid behaviour.  The changeClassToThatOf: primitive is also
designedto avoid checking for a valid behaviour.  If I were to attempt to
standardize I would do so based on adoptInstance:.
