I think that tuple-based communications provides a more general scheme for
doing the types of things people are contemplating of doing via forwarding.
I hope to run some experiments in the next few months on a distributed
testbed and be able to get some sort of feel for the level of granularity
I would like to use for multi-processor and distributed processor
implementations. 

For more information on tuple-based Smalltalk see: OOPSLA'88 p. 276
(Matsuoka) or any of Gelernter's Linda papers.
