Clearly "in my head" is not satisfactory.  It belongs somewhere in the image, but it needs to be somewhere where people can find it and/or will look.  Suggestions for an "architectural information" documentation section gratefully received.  Object class>>whatIsAPrimitive might perhaps work or perhaps be overloaded.

A brief explanation in the sources as a comment for the class and/or some relevant methods *plus* a link to a swiki page with the full details. The briefest explanation might well be as little as “this is a quite complex issue; see swiki.squeak.org/85643505485"
