Instance enumeration, the become operation, and reified stack frames are
features that set Smalltalk apart and enable many of its live coding
capabilities. Cog supports these features. Cog was specifically designed to
allow fast stack operations in the normal case while still allowing frame
manipulation. Spur was designed to make "become" fast, it used to be very
expensive.
