I'm not at all familiar with the intricacies of Parrot internals anymore,
things having gone flying over my head long ago, but may I humbly suggest
that there might be some merit to creating some kind of shortcut to a
namespace stored in a Px register?
load_namespace $P1, ['foo'; 'bar']
load_global $P2, $P1, '$baz'
Might be a good place to specialize the code for language constructs like
Python's
from module import *
Or something Perl6-ish involving "given". Subsequent "load_global" usage
wouldn't have to do the work of actually finding that 'foo::bar' namespace
each time.
