....or is there no 'set(p, p)' function?  If there isn't, why not?

Also, a question if/once it exists.  I assume it'll make a copy.  If
that's the case, then in this bit of code:

        new P0, PerlInt
        new P1, PerlString
        set P1, P0

is P1 a PerlString or a PerlInt?  I think PerlString, because otherwise
there'd be no way to cast between types.

Of course, this wouldn't be an issue (at least for the thing I'm working
on) if there was a way to force string comparisons instead of numeric
ones (hint, hint).
