documentation

   Object is the superclass of all other classes. Protocol common to

   every object is defined here.

   Also some utility stuff (like notify) and error handling is implemented here.

   Object has no instance variables (and may not get any added). One reason is, that

   UndefinedObject and SmallInteger are also inheriting from Object - these two cannot have instance

   variables (due to their implementation). The other reason is that the runtime system

   (VM) knows about the layout of some built-in classes (think of Class, Method, Block

   and also Integer or Float). If you where allowed to add instance variables to Object, 

   the VM had to be recompiled (and also rewritten in some places).

   Class variables:

	ErrorSignal     <Signal>        Signal raised for error/error: messages

					also, parent of all other signals.

	HaltSignal      <Signal>        Signal raised for halt/halt: messages

	MessageNotUnderstoodSignal      Signals raised for various error conditions

	UserInterruptSignal

	RecursionInterruptSignal 

	ExceptionInterruptSignal

	SubscriptOutOfBoundsSignal 

	NonIntegerIndexSignal

	NotFoundSignal 

	KeyNotFoundSignal 

	ElementOutOfBoundsSignal

	InformationSignal

	DeepCopyErrorSignal

	AbortSignal      <Signal>       Signal raised by debugger, to abort a computation

					BUT, the debugger will only raise it if it is handled.

					By handling the abortSignal, you can control where the

					debuggers abort-function resumes execution in case of

					an error.

	ErrorRecursion   <Boolean>      controls behavior when recursive errors occur (i.e. 

					an error while handling an error).

	Dependencies     <Dictionary>   keeps track of object dependencies
