module Vool
  # 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)
