CheapBlocks are blocks which do not need their home-context
(i.e. blocks that do not access any method arguments or method locals).
Since they have no reference to the home, they must store their
creating method explicitely - otherwise, the system had no chance of
finding the source-position of the block.
Instance variables:
selfValue <Object> value to use for self if its a copying block
method <Method> method where block was created
NOTICE: layout known by runtime system and compiler - do not change
