Seems so. But anyway, can you put together a design document and check
it in, so that this whole stuff isn't lost in history.
Some additional random remarks and questions:

This is very probably necessary to perform some final state adjustemnt,
when all the contained PMCs are done but not as a general "to be
called on each". E.g. a plain scalar PMC doesn't need it. I'd rather
have s
The beginnings of freezing and thawing are going in, which is good -- this
should get us to PMC constants in the bytecode files, and proper
over-the-wire freeze/thaw stuff. We're a bit raw at the moment, which is
fine, so I wanted to give a heads up as to where things are moving, what
