I suppose then, that languages like Ponie or Python will end up needing
builtin operators that expose the raw multi calling conventions of
Parrot. e.g.:
parrot_invoke '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@Num', $x, $y
That could then be hidden in a module if you didn't want to expose it to
end-users.
For most multi subs in P6 or other typed languages with multi-type
overloading, I suspect there will be a reasonable default signature that
could be exported to P5, et al. without too much loss of functionality.
