- Support for small objects (ones hidden inside a pointer). On 32-bit systems,
the runtime permits one small object class, on 64-bit systems it permits 4.

LanguageKit for message sending to small integers.

- Improvements to the included LLVM optimisation passes. Testing on a 2.8GHz
Xeon, a loop of 200,000,000 class messages took 0.8 seconds with all
optimisations enabled (including speculative inlining). With -Os, the test
took 2 seconds. With explicit IMP caching in the source code, the test took
1.2 seconds. For reference, the same test using the GCC Objective-C runtime
took 11 seconds (when compiled with either Clang/LLVM or GCC).

extensively by the Étoilé project, it is entirely new (MIT licensed) code and
