    Instances of this class represent external (non-Smalltalk) addresses.

    They are only useful to represent handles as returned by C functions

    as smalltalk objects. 

    For example, Window- or WidgetIDs (which are actually 32 bit pointers) could be represented this way

    (better create a handle-subclass for it, to care for proper finalization).

    (you should not use SmallIntegers for this, since they can only represent 31

     bits; LargeIntegers could be used in theory, but it is not a very good style

     to do so, since it makes things a bit cryptic - having ExternalAddresses

     around makes things pretty clear in inspectors etc.).

    There is not much you can do with ExternalAddresses on the smalltalk level;

    creation/use should be done in primitive C-code via 

       __MKEXTERNALADDRESS(voidPtr) and __ExternalAddressVal(obj).

    ExternallAddresses are much like ExternalBytes - however, the latter

    allow you to access bytes via indexed at:/at:put: messages.

    ExternalAddresses do not allow such accesses (they are meant to remain anonymous, opaque handles).

    Also, memory blocks which are freeable should be represented as ExternalBytes.

examples

"

    To pass some C-pointer from primitive code to smalltalk:

	...

	RETURN (__MKEXTERNALADDRESS(foo));

    pass it back to C and use it there:

	...

	if (__isExternalAddress(anExternalAddress)) {

	    ptr = __externalAddressVal(anExternalAddress));

	}

	...

    concrete example:

	test1

	%{

	    static char foo[] = {'h', 'e' ,'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', '\n'};

	    RETURN (__MKEXTERNALADDRESS(foo));

	%}

	test2:anExternalAddress

	%{

	    if (__isExternalAddress(anExternalAddress)) {

		printf(__externalAddressVal(anExternalAddress));

		RETURN (self);

	    }

	%}
