I sync'd up with subversion this afternoon, and I'm finding that a

install a lot of crud I never used to have to.
You are not very verbose about what actually fails, but I presume that
you are speaking of ParrotObjects, which happened to call the mmd
fallback functions in absence of a C<mmdvtregister> overload.
I assume that we didn't throw away all the default functions on
purpose, since that'd be more than a little foolish.
Well, if this is sane or foolish is probably a matter of taste or usage.
I think that arbitrary objects shouldn't have floating point
mathematical semantics.
Then they don't implement the floating point accessor vtable functions.
All the fallback functions where just duplicating code from (mostly)
float.pmc or integer.pmc.
Right, so to reduce code duplication you remove stuff that's working
so people have to go reimplement the code. That makes *perfect* sense.
