All --
How far away are we from being able to deal with arrays? I'd like to
write some tests that involve arrays...
>From a few quick searches, it seems to me that we need to implement
arrays via PMCs. I think that means we need a way to use some op(s)
to perform memory allocations, etc., unless we'll
make_object P1, "ARRAY" # Handles memory allocation somehow
call_method P1, "push" # How to pass in args?
....
call_method P1, "DESTROY" # Or, is there another way?
Dan? Simon? Are we far away from this, or getting close? Are we
implementing the guts of such things in C and accessing via PMC
and methods, or are we implementing ops for vectors-of-pointers
on top of which the ARRAY API will be built?
I'd at least like to know enough about how its going to look so
a sample program can be exhibited.
