To recap, I think this bug will require a substantial refactoring and

packfile code).
Agreed.
Same here.
I believe Jonathan was looking into this. In particular, adding arity to Subs
was the first step.
Also, I already added inspect, which provides a way to get a bit more
than the arity, including the numbers of different types of parameters.
I can extend that further as needed.
On the more general packfile code re-factoring, yes, I still plan to do
it. I was somewhat distracted from Parrot guts by Rakudo during Feb,
when I was trying to help get it more featureful for when I was
presenting it at a couple of conferences, and so far this month have
been busy doing $DAYJOB to pay the bills. Things should ease up a bit soon.
Thanks,
Jonathan
