ByteMemory comment: 
'I have no instances.  I provide messages to my class that access real memory 
as bytes.  An alternative implementation would be to have a single instance
of byte memory that represented all memory, and at: and at:put: accessor
methods, but since you''d typically refer to that instance via a global
variable, and since the global variable would probably be named ByteMemory,
the actual method invocations are exactly the same in either case.' !
