removed unused NamedList

args and locals got inlined into message, forgot to delete then
ripples out due to type creation
small type class api change, more ripples, but also more consistent

-# A NamedList is used to store local variables and arguments when calling methods.

-# The items are named (and typed) by the objects type instance. In effect the

-
-# A Message with is arguments, and a NamedList make up the two sides of message passing:
-# A Message (see details there) is created by the caller and control is transferred
-# A NamedList is created by the receiver
-# PS: it turns out that both messages and named_lists are created at compile, not run-time, and
-#  just constantly reused. Each message has two named_list object ready and is also linked
-#  to the next message.
-# The better way to say above is that a message is *used* by the caller, and a named_list
-#  by the callee.
-
-# Also at runtime Messages and NamedLists remain completely "normal" objects.
-# Ie they have have type and instances and so on.*
