Well, something gets kept in the image - last time I checked ChangeSets
seem to keep the actual old method around which is why we can shrink the
image so much by flushing the changesets (assuming we have a typical
late-in-version-development image).

Looking through ChangeSet I see that there is quite a bit retained for
each change made, including the actual compiled method objects.

I was about to suggest that 'trimHistory' might remove older versions
but it doesn't seem to actually do that. Should it?
