Being able to cleanly add instance variables to MethodContexts would
be nice. I'd like it to make it easier to detect compiled methods when
returning back into them. A SmallInteger pointer to the machine code
would make it both easy and fast to re-enter a method.

The code sequence would be to check if the address is not nil. If
it is an SmallInteger detag it then jump to that address.
