That's mostly done, except for named keys (I used arrays). If you like named keys, an OrderedHash would provide both named and indexed access.
How does an OrderedHash cross the NCI boundary? That is, I know how a ManagedStruct or UnmanagedStruct converts to something the wrapped library can understand -- the PMC_data() macro makes sense. How does it work for an OrderedHash?
I looked at this and wondered where to hang the mapping of names to array indices. The data member of the PMC looks full up.
Hang it off the cache slot, and mark the cache as a buffer with the data you need in it. (That's how I'd do it, at least)
