Should PerlString support a get_pmc_keyed() method (according to Perl

get_pmc_keyed() seems a bit heavy to handle single chars in a
PerlString (Each char would create a separate PMC with a PerlString
attached to it).
Can you use native STRINGs for that?
sure, if we only knew the type of the variable we're accessing:

function dump0($a)
{
echo printf("%s\n",$a[0]);
}
dump0("hallo");  // called with a string
dump0(array("thies", "arntzen")); // with an array
would produce (in php):

h            // string offset
thies        // array index
how do you think we should generate "good" imc code for that?
