/**
 * This class denotes the root node of the intercessive mirrors delegation hierarchy.
 * 
 * Intercessive mirrors are always tied to a particular 'base' object.
 * The default intercessive mirror is named 'mirrorroot' and is an object
 * that understands all meta_* operations, implementing them using default semantics.
 * It can be thought of as being defined as follows:
 * 
 * def mirrorroot := object: {
 *   def base := object: { nil } mirroredBy: self // base of the mirror root is an empty mirage
 *   def init(b) {
 *     base := b
 *   }
 *   def invoke(@args) { <default native invocation behaviour on base> }
 *   def select(@args) { <default native selection behaviour on base> }
 *   ...
 * } taggedAs: [ Mirror ]
 * 
 * This object can then simply be extended / composed by other objects to deviate from the default semantics.
 * Note that the default semantics is applied to 'base' and *not* 'self.base', in other words:
 * although child mirrors can define their own 'base' field, it is not taken into consideration
 * by the mirror root. This also ensures that the mirror root is not abused to enact upon a mirage
 * for which it was not assigned to be the mirror.
 * 
 * Hence, 'mirrors' are simply objects with the same interface as this mirrorroot object: they should be
 * able to respond to all meta_* messages and have a 'base' field.

	 * <p>The effect of selecting fields or methods on a mirror (through meta_select) 
	 * consists of checking whether the requested selector matches a field of the 
	 * principal wrapped by this mirror. If this is the case, the principal's 
	 * ('meta_get' + selector) method will be invoked. Else the selector might 
	 * identify one of the principal's meta-operations. If this is the case, then
	 * an AmbientTalk representation of the Java method ('meta_' + selector) will 
	 * be returned. </p>
	 *  
	 * <p>Because an explicit AmbientTalk method invocation must be converted into 
	 * an implicit Java method invocation, the invocation must be deified ('upped').
	 * To uphold stratification of the mirror architecture, the result of this 
	 * operation should be a mirror on the result of the Java method invocation.</p>
	 * 
	 * <p>Note that only when the principal does not have a matching meta_level field 
	 * or method the mirror itself will be tested for a corresponding base_level 
	 * behaviour (e.g. for its base field or for operators such as ==). In the 
	 * latter case, stratification is not enforced. This is due to the fact that 
	 * the said fields and methods are not meta-level behaviour, rather they are 
	 * base-level operations which happen to be applicable on a mirror. An added 
	 * advantage of this technique is that it permits a mirror to have a field 
	 * referring to its principal.</p>
