This is expirmental. Maybe it should be moved to the Trinkets project. The idea is to be able to access a object as a pure object, by binding methods called to Object/Kernel first. Thus bypassing any overriden methods.
But you can use at to do this already.
obj.at(Object).object_id
For metaprogramming this can be important.
