TruffleSOM with SimpleLanguage-Style Call Caches

[Chris Seaton]

I use @SlowPath on any method that don't want inlined because I know due to
code size it's not worth inlining (but this is rare), or where I need
recursion (for example Ruby's puts method recurses into Arrays as it pretty
prints them). You say you've used it where you are returning a node, but if
you are returning nodes from methods you probably want to already be back
in the interpreter via SlowPathException or transferToInterpreter.

I'm not aware of any changes in heuristics of thresholds, sorry.
