# various classes would derive from array in ruby, ie have indexed variables
#
# But for our memory layout we need the variable part of an object to be after
# the fixed, ie the instance variables
#
# Just using ruby derivation will not allow us to offset the index, so instead the
# function will be generated and included to the classes that need them.
#
# Using ruby include does not work for similar reasons, so Indexed.at is the main
# function that generates the methods
 # ( do have to use a marker module so we can test with is_a?)
