    # Sending in a dynamic language is off course not as simple as just calling.
    # The function that needs to be called depends after all on the receiver,
    # and no guarantees can be made on what that is.
    #
    # It helps to know that usually (>99%) the class of the receiver does not change.
    # Our stategy then is to cache the functions and only dynamically determine it in
    # case of a miss (the 1%, and first invocation)
    #
    # As cache key we must use the type of the object (which is the first word of _every_ object)
    # as that is constant, and function implementations depend on the type (not class)
    #
    # A Send breaks down to 2 steps:
    # - Setting up the next message, with receiver, arguments, and (importantly) return address
    # - a CachedCall , or a SimpleCall, depending on weather the receiver type can be determined
    #
    # FIXME: we now presume direct (assignable) values for the arguments and receiver.
    #        in a not so distant future, temporary variables will have to be created
    #        and complex statements hoisted to assign to them. pps: same as in conditions
