No i did not miss it, it says that this is _NOT_ implemented in squeak,
only in the commercial VM's which i pointed out are still extrem
expensive for all of us who use it for some scripts in there
companies.

So i doubt that the Squeak Engine can do much better then YARV when
both use the same technologie (at least for message calling)
