Hi guys

Ideally I would love to be able to use accessors as the abstraction layer that they can bring us:
I mean the fact that we could avoid to have offset based bytecode means that we could reuse a lot more
the methods (in special case - mixins and others).

Now I have a question does the JIT or the shortcut (not sure if this is in stackVM) blurry the cost of accessors
vs. direct accesses?

Not yet. �But IMO it would be straight-forward to add. �The PIC design supports inserting extra code at a send site, which is the logical place to put the access code.

Does anybody run a benchmarck about
