+Summary: NativeLanguage lacks implementations for ILanguage's CanCreateInstance and CreateInstance.
+
+CreateInstance is the tough one - it's implemented in mono using Heap
+(which rather hackishly uses a preallocated buffer to allocate objects.) 
+There's no such preallocated buffer in the native case, so we'll need to
+either allocate the objects (ewwww), or find a different way to handle the
+cases where we need this.
+
+The two cases that I can think of (setting variables to constants, and
+calling methods with constants as args) can both be handled in different
+ways.  setting variables can be handled by just writing the new bit
+pattern.  and calling methods can be done by pushing a fake stack frame in
+the debuggee and allocating space for the objects there.
