In my diseased and uninformed mind V3 came from my noticing that the double
extended do anything bytecode didn't exist in Smalltalk-80, so I presumed
it wasn't in Squeak V1.  I don't know if it's in V2, and I was too lazy to
go look, but I did know it was in V3, so I called it, and the object
representation "V3".  Presumptuous but concise of me.  For me it really is
a label for no more than the state of play of Squeak when I came to start
changing its core execution engine.  I hope this is harmless enough.
