/**
 * A coercer is a dynamic proxy which is used to 'cast' Ambienttalk base-level NATObjects to a certain ATxxx interface.
 * The dynamic proxy is responsible for transforming java calls to meta_invoke calls.
 * 
 * For example, a method from an AT interface
 * 
 * ATExpression base_expression() throws NATException
 * 
 * receives the following implementation:
 * 
 * ATExpression expression() throws NATException {
 *	return principal.meta_invoke(principal, Reflection.downSelector("getExpression"), NATTable.EMPTY).asExpression();
 * }
 * 
 * where principal is the original object 'coerced into' the given interface
