Hi Colin--
How does Spoon maintain Selector identity across object memories? When a method is transferred from one object memory to another, how are the selectors in its literal frame interned when it arrives? I don't imagine the selectors have UUIDs.... perhaps the selector tables do?
There's no need to maintain Selector identity across object memories. The only important thing is that a Selector used in the literal frame of a sending method be the same one used as the method dictionary key for the method to which the sending method refers. The behavior for transferring methods ensures this.
thanks,
