That bit needs to change because of some of the stuff I've been digging
into. Basically dispatch is handled by the object itself. When you do:
$foo->bar(1,2,3);
under the hood we look up the method call function in $foo's vtable and
tell it to go handle things. That way people can install per-class (or
per-object, if they must) dispatch code.
