# In rubyx everything truely is an object. (most smalltalk/ruby systems use a union
# for integers/pointers that are called objects, but are really very different)
#
# Objects have type as their first member. No exception.
#
# So where is the data? In DataObjects. DataObjects are opague carriers of data.
# Opague to rubyx that is. There is no way to get at it or pass the data around.
#
# To use Data, Risc instructions have to be used. Luckily there is not soo much one
# actually wants to do with data, moving it between DataObject , comparing and
# logical and math operation that are bundled into the OperatorInstruction.
#
# For safe access the access code needs to know the length of the data, which is
# encoded in the class/type name. Ie An Integer derives from Data2, which is 2 long
# (minus one for the type, so exactly the one word for the integer)
#
# DataObjects still have a type, and so can have objects before the data starts
#
# A marker class
