     Compiled methods have a non-nil code field, while interpreted methods have
     a nil code field and non-nil byteCode field.
     If there are both non-nil code and bytecode fields, the VM will execute
-    the machine-code of a method. If both are nil when executed, a noByteCode
-    message is sent by the VM to the method where a signal is raised.
-
-    The methods sourcecode is represented by source and sourcePosition:
+    the machine-code of a method. If both are nil when executed, a #noByteCode
+    message is sent (by the VM) to the method, where a signal is raised.
+    (or, a user defined interpreter can be invoked on the smalltalk level)
+
+    The method's sourcecode is represented by source and sourcePosition:
     - if sourcePosition is a Number, the source-field is the fileName and
       sourcePosition is the character offset of the source-chunk in this source file.
-    - If sourcePosition is nil, the source is the string in the source field.
+    - If sourcePosition is nil, the source fields holds the source string.
     (an old version used ExternalString instances here, but that lead to
-     10000 additional little objects ...)
+     10000's of additional little objects ...)
 
     The flags field defines things like the number of method-locals,
     method arguments and stack requirements (for interpreted methods).
