(Whiteboard: PACMAN) 

global symbol lookups are common even if they're hoisted; in many cases the symbol owner object can be known at verify time, but the object doesn't live in any array, its in a hashtable and its location can move.  resolving it to an index could allow early binding of external globals for a big reduction in symbtab hits.
Domain's own these hashtables and form themselves into a tree, and both parents and childs in this tree can load new code at any time.
