What would that do? Surely Inline::PIR (or whatever imcc's input language is
called) would require embedding parrot into a perl extension, and then
calling into parrot subroutines from perl.

Whereas all we need here is a perl interface to call into the C disassembly
API, isn't it? Much simpler (for anyone who knows XS)
