Torsten Ruger ee6f9d733b rename Mystery
just unknown, mystery should be more difficult to find out.
After all we keep run time info, so just need unknown at compile time

# A slot is a slot in an object. It is the storage location for a value.
# (Remember, values are typed)
# From a memory perspective a slot is an index into an array (the object)
# But we are not modelling the array here, but the index into it.
# Four known objects exist and those correspond to subclasses:
# - the message that has been received: MessageSlot
# - the frame of the method that is executing (local variables): FrameSlot
# - self as an object: SelfSlot
# - a message that will be sent, NewMessageSlot
# additionally frame, self and return are slots in Message and NewMessage
# Slot has a lot of small subclasses
# Names for the slots avoid indexes
