Immediate means it's stored in the OOP itself, like SmallInteger in 32 bits.
Variable word is like variable byte (ByteArray) I suppose, variable size, with 
indices instead of named instance variables, but each index points to a full 
word (I guess either 32 or 64bit depending on the VM)

Hi!

I have stumbled on:

Float immediateSubclass: #SmallFloat64
         instanceVariableNames: ''
         classVariableNames: ''
         package: 'Kernel-Numbers’


Float variableWordSubclass: #BoxedFloat64
         instanceVariableNames: ''
         classVariableNames: ''
         package: 'Kernel-Numbers’


What are immediate subclass and word variable?

Cheers,
Alexandre
