MMD dispatch (was: Objects, classes, metaclasses, and other things that go bump in the night)

nal MMD This is basically just an abstraction of 1). A MMD method gets 2 entries in the globals table, one for the left class namespace and one for the right class. We have e.g. the visible opcode Pdest = Pleft + Pright This gets an internal opcode: callmethod_MMD_2 "add"
