The question isn't whether they *do*--rather it's whether they *should*. The current implementation's not all that relevant except as a demonstration of one set of semantics. What I want to do is work out what the 'proper' semantics ultimately should be.
I think that the static "inheritance" inside classes/ is ok. We have to rearrange classes hierarchy, though. The special MMD based Integer and Float classes are no more special, array classes still need finishing.
If we do that it means every PMC class is essentially a base type as far as Parrot's concerned.
Which, on reflection, I'm just fine with. So let's do that. I'll patch up the float and integer classes while I'm at it too.
