Well, kind of ;)  Because if you do that, your image will crash. This is
because the VM directly accesses (by offset) certain instVars of certain
classes. For example, it knows that the MethodDictionary of a class is at
the offset 2. So, if you add an instVar to Object all these offsets will be
shifted, and VM will be accessing incorrect places, and therefore, a crash
:)
