I think I remember reading one of the comments in the IMCC compiler
something to the effect of "if someone needs N keys they can just
convert to strings."
Sorry I can't find the exact wording right now, but it might point you
somewhere useful.

As mentioned earlier today, I've rewritten the guts of the argument
passing code. It's now one function 'process_args', which is mostly a
state machine with currently ~12 cases that handles the various states

I don't have much to say on the deeper question, but I have a few
ideas on the P5 -> P6 translation question, especially as it relates
to OO:

We need a PIR version of get_params '()'. I'm OK with .no_params.

I think you'll need to invert that, given that code can be executed
before :main, e.g. :immediate. Default the err

I'm currently rewriting the guts of argument passing which causes a few
tests to fail.
1) Is the :opt_flag optional?
.param string description :optional
# .param inthas_desc :opt_flag# <- is this always needed
(this is from Test/More.pir)
2) Param count mismatches
