With this encoding, you have a receiveless 5-byte opcode.

Good point. But, someone is sure to complain that the normal uses of the opcode do not allow null. Then we get around to those other designs we talked about at the Summit, where the metaobject is passed as the receiver. This is clever, but it optimizes the slow path instead of the fast path, so I don't think that's what we want.
