I think this general idea is great and long overdue.

aux_id isn't used (except in the GC) or set.  What if we just remove
it for the time being?  I think we'll need something like this, but I
think we should hold off on it until we do some actual design on the
pluggable execution engine idea.

Also, on irc we talked about moving `otable' and `atable' and friends
out of the Class structure and into `aux_info'.  Do we still want to
do that?  I suppose this could wait to some later stage as well.
