.sub __add method

   .param pmc left
   .param pmc right

The function signatures of your __add methods are bogus.

   Pd = Pl + Pr

is the same as:

  Pd = __add(Pl, Pr)

or

  Pd = Pl.__add(Pr)

The difference between function and method call is just the lookup, if 
there are multisubs defined. And both of these ought to return a new PMC 
of the desired type:

  .sub __add method
      .param right
      # add self to right giving d
     .return (d)
  .end

or as function

  .sub __add
     .param left
     .param right
     ...
