Would anyone be inconvenienced if the set_pmc vtable and the
setref and deref opcodes were removed? Note that if you are using set
_pmc but are not using assign_pmc, then you may not be
inconvenienced because right now the default assign_pmc vtable calls
set_pmc.
These opcodes were added to make transparent references
possible, but they weren't really specced out or desisign
ed properly. As such, they're a little broken and we'd like to remove them.
Removing opcodes because they're a little broken sounds odd. What
problem were they designed to solve, and what's our replacement strategy
for solving the problem?
