Could this be used in stead of Spec Adapters? That would probably require MetaLinkCollection.

We need to be careful using these mechanisms�� it is powerful but you can build very hard

I fear only my PhD�� I never published a paper about the whole thing (huge mistake��).

The problem is that this tells the story including the first steps that where wrong (based on byte code
and too complex). Chapter 5 is about the final model, chapter 6 discusses meta-recursion.
So one could read 2, the intro of 3 + 4, and then 5.

I will write a real paper about the version in Pharo when it is done.
