 So the way this will go is to write syscalls where needed.

 This functionality, ie getting the n'th data in an object, is essential, but c makes such a good point of of it having no place in a public api. So it needs to be implemented in a "private" part and used in a save manner. More on the layers emerging below.

 The Kernel functions return function objects. Kernel functions have the same name as the function they implement, so Kernel::putstring defines a function called putstring. Function objects (Vm::Function) carry entry/exit/body code, receiver/return/argurmt types and a little more.

-- use crystals existing kernel/machine abstraction to define new functionality that is not possible in ruby
+- use sapphires existing kernel/machine abstraction to define new functionality that is not possible in ruby
 - define new machine functionality, adding kernel type api's, to create wholly new, possibly hardware specific functionality
 
 I am thinking graphic accellaration, GPU usage, vector api's, that kind of thing. In fact i aim to implement the whole floating point functionality as an extensions (as it clearly not essential for OO).
