[Vm-dev] #becomeUncompact not longer works in Cog/Stack VMs

[Andreas Raab]

I don't recall if Eliot has published all the details (we went over it 
during some lunch break once) but the basic idea is described here:

(of course, the compact class index is just an index into a class table)

Cheers,
