 fromLiteralArrayEncoding: aSpecArray

 literalArrayEncoding

(comment from inherited method)
generate a literalArrayEncoding array for myself.
This uses #literalArrayEncodingSlotOrder which defines the slots and
order and #skippedInLiteralEncoding which defines slots to skip.
For most subclasses, there is no need to redefine those.
