This is now cleaned up: - flags are flags - run_core settings are separate - only any one core can be active
This has some impacts on command line options:
Now old default slow core cgoto core cgoto -g CGP -C -P fast core -f -g prederef -P -P -g
Setting bounds checking, trace or profile selects the slow core, *if* this options aren't superseded by a following run core option.
Additionally the optimizer options -O now does:
-O := -O1t -O2 := -O2t -Ot select fastest core i.e. CGP or switch if no cgoto available
Additonally: * The embedding interface is updated already. * some long option names changed, s. parrot --help * valid core checks are only done once before running * PARROT_EXEC_CORE could put its Parrot_exec_run states into run_core
Comments welcome, when things have settled I'll update the docs.
