Okay, ID stands for a location fixed until the object disappears, but we
don't know where that location is. But what about object offsets from self?
Is the beginning of self.spam always the same distance from the beginning
of self.eggs? Or can I just forget the hard ground of assembler-metaphors
entirely as I float off into abstractville? I guess the fixed lengths I
kept getting on re-runs were coincidental but not to be relied on.
