Torsten Rüger d1f8733623 Rename Vool to Sol
Simple is really the descriptive name for the layer
Sure, it is "virtual" but that is not as important as the fact that it is simple (or simplified)
Also objct (based really) is better, since orientated implies it is a little like that, but only orientated, not really it. Sol only has objects, nothing else
Just cause i was renaming anyway

# A dynamic call calls a method at runtime. This off course implies that we don't know the
# method at compile time and so must "find" it. Resolving, or finding the method, is a
# a seperate instruction though, and here we assume that we know this Method instance.
#
# Both (to be called) Method instance and the type of receiver are stored as
# variables here. The type is used to check before calling.
#
# Setting up the method is not part of this instructions scope. That setup
# includes the type check and any necccessay method resolution.
# See sol send statement

# One could almost think that one can resolve this to a Risc::FunctionCall
# (which btw resolves to a simple jump), alas, the FunctionCall, like all other
# jumping, resolves the address at compile time.

# Instead we need a DynamicJump instruction that explicitly takes a register as
# a target (not a label)
