Hi, I missed the beginning of this discussion but I just came across the  
following function in the Java interpreter:

/* Call an Java method from C.  The java method may have any number of  
arguments
 * and may return a single 4 byte value which may be an integer, a pointer to
 * an object handle, whatever.
 */
long
execute_java_dynamic_method(ExecEnv *ee, HObject *obj,
			   char *method_name, char *signature, ...)

(Hope this doesn't violate the source license rules!)

So couldn't you use this to add a native perform method to Object? It  
appears as though the Tcl stuff makes use of it.
