    node for parse-trees, representing primitive code

    This is a helper class for the compiler.

    Primitives are (currently) not always supported by the incremental compiler 

    - if you want a primitive, you must use the stc-compiler and 

    link a new smalltalk.

    On system which support dynamic object loading, methods with primitives are passed 

    to stc and the resulting binary is loaded into the image 

    (also a limited set of numeric primitives could be implemented for more ST-80 

     compatibility - if there is a need).

    To allow autoloaded/filedIn code to be written for best performance, an optional

    primitive directive (in the primitives first lines comment) may specify an

    optional primitive; these are compiled on systems which do support binary code

    loading, and ignored completely on others.
