It would be just working *if* CompiledMethodLayout would allow slots… slots are
right now in PointerLayout and subclasses.
(this came due to the virtual vs. indexed slots not being really explicly
modelled in the first prototype)
I will change that: all classes should be able to have *virtual* slots (and add
them without having to migrate the instances).

Yes, just think about MorphExtension…
