    Context represents the stack context objects; each message send adds a context

    to a chain, which can be traced back via the sender field. 

    (The actual implementation uses the machines stack for this, building real 

     contexts when needed only).

    For both method- and block-contexts, the layout is the same. 

    For method contexts, the home-field is nil, while for blockcontexts the home-

    field is either the context of its surrounding block (i.e. the context of the

    block, in which the receiving block was created, if its a nested block) or of

    its home method. 

    Contexts of cheap blocks do not have a home context - their home field is 

    also nil.

    Currently, contexts do not contain a reference to the method or block which

    created it - this is not needed for program execution, but could get the debugger

    somewhat into trouble: it has to search the class hierarchy for receiver/selector

    combinations to find the method. This usually works, but fails in case of methods

    which are not anchored in any class - especially leading to problems with wrapper-

    and lazy methods. Also, Method>>valueWithReceiver - type of invocations cannot

    be easily debugged.

    Therefore, the implementation will be changed in the near future, to include a

    field for the method/block, and set it in the VM during program execution.

    (there may be some small performance penalty for this, though).

    Notice: due to the compilation to machine code, methods and/or block do not

    always (actually: do seldom) contain bytecodes. Thus, there is no such concept

    as a bytecode p-counter. To support debugging, the linenumber within the

    original source is instead remembered when a send or loop entry is performed.

    Since linenumbers are not always sufficient for debugging (multiple sends in one

    line), this will be changed in future versions to a character offset, giving

    the position of the selector in the source.

    instance variables:

	flags       <SmallInteger>          used by the VM; never touch.

					    contains info about number of args, 

					    locals and temporaries.

	sender      <Context>               the 'calling / sending' context

	home        <Context>               the context, where this block was 

					    created, or nil if its a method context

					    There are also cheap blocks, which do

					    not need a reference to the home context,

					    for those, its nil too.

	receiver    <Object>                the receiver of this message

	selector    <Symbol>                the selector of this message

	searchClass <Class>                 the class, where the message lookup started

					    (for super sends) or nil, for regular sends.

	lineNr      <SmallInteger>          the position where the context left off

					    (kind of p-counter)

	retValTemp  nil                     temporary - always nil, when you see the context

					    (used in the VM as temporary)

	handle      *noObject*              used by the VM; not accessable, not an object

	<indexed>                           arguments of the send followed by

					    locals of the method/block followed by

					    temporaries.

    class variables:

	InvalidReturnSignal                 signal raised when a block tries

					    to return ('^') from a method context

					    which itself has already returned

					    (i.e. there is no place to return to)

    WARNING: layout and size known by the compiler and runtime system - do not change.
