you mean changing compiler to compile "<obj> Foo" message send for accessing Foo name, instead of direct binding access?
Oh, I see. The source code still reads as a variable access, but the
bytecode implements a message send.
No, I think Igor is proposing to write something like "self environment Foo" to access Foo. Which is flexible, granted, but looks ugly.
That's what I thought too, but that obviously breaks compatibility with existing code, which Igor claims his proposal does not.
