Dan,
Why is there a callmeth op? Can't we just use a regular invoke as with other
subs? Or does the callmeth op do both a find and invoke as an optimization?

It does a find and invoke, and the callmethcc does a find,
cc-capture, and invoke.

Calling convention says that before a sub/method is invoked:
- P0 Holds the object representing the subroutine.
- P1 Holds the continuation for the caller, assuming this sub was called
with callcc. Otherwise NULL.
- P2 Holds the object the sub was called on. (For method calls)

Good question--there really isn't one. I've been trying to avoid
underscores in names, since it was inconvenient when the assembler
was trying to figure out if you were usin
