Modyfing the structure of a class at runtime has nothing to do with a #become:
It depends. If "modify structure" means "modifying methods" then indeed it has little to do with become:. But if it means "changing the memory layout of the class by for example adding ivars" then it has to do with become: because it is needed to do instance migration from the old class to the new class.
