what are these?

They look like a hack to simulate named primitives from the debugger, but I am not sure at all.

I am just wondering...couldn't such compiled methods be compiled at runtime? say I use a String stream with a loop of arguments size and I build the string and then I get a CompiledMethod from it (kind of #compileSilently:. I guess it would be slower, but on the other hand I save the #lookupSelector:
would that work?� is it important the speed here? because I don't really know what these methods are used for exactly ;)
