    # The general idea is that compiling is creating an object graph. Functionally
    # one tends to think of methods, and that is complicated enough, sure.
    # But for an object system the graph includes classes and all instance variables
    #
    # And so we have a chicken and egg problem. At the end of the boot function we want to have a
    # working Space object
    # But that has instance variables (List and Dictionary) and off course a class.
    # Or more precisely in rubyx, a Type, that points to a class.
    # So we need a Type, but that has Type and Class too. hmmm
    #
    # The way out is to build empty shell objects and stuff the neccessary data into them
    #  (not use the normal initialize way)
    #  (PPS: The "real" solution is to read a sof graph and not do this by hand
    #    That graph can be programatically built and written (with this to boot that process :-))

    # There are some helpers below, but the roadmap is something like:
    # - create all the Type instances, with their basic types, but no classes
    # - create a BootSpace that has BootClasses , used only during booting
    # - create the Class objects and assign them to the types
    # - flesh out the types , create the real space
    # - and finally load the methods
