     Exactly.

     It's simpler than that; the VM just creates a message to the proxy
(in a manner similar to doesNotUnderstand:), using a special selector
which is also known from the special objects array. Then the proxy
forwards the message itself. The VM need not know about the network
stream or original object ID.
