The problem is that the strings returned in PGE's Match objects
are Parrot String PMCs, and so the .trans method for String PMCs
(src/pmc/string.pmc:867) ends up being used instead of the .trans
method defined by Rakudo.

This will all likely be fixed when we have HLL mapping in place,
and when PGE is updated to understand HLL mapping.  Until then, I
think we're a little stuck on this one.
