Abstract
Multiple different type hierarchies can communicate in a high performance and seamless manner by sharing a GC and interface dispatch logic. A runtime environment can support multiple independent type hierarchies, each type hierarchy defined by the module which defines the root of a type graph and some other helper functionality. Code that uses the dispatch logic has to follow certain rules in order to maintain GC and type safety. Different types in disjoint type graphs can behave as if they were one type for cross type graph communication purposes.
