Given the code

     $P0 = new .Integer
     $P0 = $N0
     print $P0
     print "\n"
.end

this will print 3.14, not 3.  The same occurs if using an S register 
instead of an N register.  This is with the latest revision.

Yep. That's how it is implemented. It was AFAIK never officially 
specced, what the base types are exactly doing for such cases. Therefore 
the semantics are roughly these of Perl PMCs.
