Yes, but....  which ones do or don't is part of the specification of
the virtual machine ("No lookup"), and, if I'm not mistaken, at:put:
in class Array is not one of those.  In any case, the at:put: which
was not looked up was in a *subclass* of Array.

Mark's point about == and proxy objects was interesting.  This argues
for really *everything* being sent as a message.
