What I was trying to do was to dynamically change the runtime behavior of an
object instance by loading the new methods from a permanent store.  Since this
wasn't easy to do, I now just save off all of the attributes, kill the 
old object, create a new object, and restore the attributes.  

This works, but it doesn't seem to be as elegant as having the ability
to replace methods.
