module SlotMachine
# A SlotDefinition defines a slot. A bit like a variable name but for objects.
#
# PS: for the interested: A "development" of Smalltalk was the
# prototype based language (read: JavaScript equivalent)
# called Self https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_(programming_language)
#
# SlotDefinitions are the instance names of objects. But since the language is dynamic
# what is it that we can say about instance names at runtime?
# Start with a known object like the Message (in register one), we know all it's
# variables. But there is a Message in there, and for that we know the instances
# too. And off course for _all_ objects we know where the type is.
#
# The definiion is an array of symbols that we can resolve to SlotLoad
# Instructions. Or in the case of constants to ConstantLoad
#
class SlotDefinition
# get the right definition, depending on the object

# The first element is either a known type name (Capitalized symbol of the class name) ,
# or the symbol :message
# And subsequent symbols must be instance variables on the previous type.
# Examples: [:message , :receiver] or [:Space , :next_message]
