No, you misunderstand. I don't mean "alter the functions in the vtable for
the class", I mean "Change which table of functions is in effect for a
variable at this point in time".
This:
my $foo;
$foo = 12;
print $foo;
$foo /= 24;
print $foo;
may well have the vtable pointer attached to the PMC for $foo change with
every line of code. Probably will, honestly.
