I'd also like to be able to access information on the particular perl that
is running this program...e.g., does it support 64-bit nums, what is the
endianness of the native numbers, does it support threads and (if so) what
threading model (though this is probably a moot point in P6, perhaps it
is something that could be included into 5.8.x).
