Eliot a final question.
So how will you handle OPAL compiler change in Cog?
Do you require that marcus and jorge have to deal with decompiler of caseOf: in addition to all the rest?
Is it a strong requirement? Because then this is clear that Opal will be delayed. But may be it is not that important after all.
Just curious.

OPAL is a Smalltalk compiler. �I can therefore assume that it will compile Smalltalk. �caseOf: is valid Smalltalk and so will be compiled by OPAL. �Whether Marcus chooses to optimise caseOf: or not is up to him.
