After looking at the internal data types PDD and the vtable PDD (which by the
way is truncated on dev.perl.org in the pdd and HTML form), I can't make sense
of the separate float_type and num_type declared in the vtable structure.

You prefer to write tests for things that don't exist? :) Ah well, have
it your own way. (That's to say, yes, I'd love to see some tests f

Cool. So, what needs to get done first? By that I mean, what is standing
in the way of our creating tests for scalar PMCs? Maybe I'm anal
retentive, but I don'
I've fixed (I hope) the huge horrible problem whereby vtable_ops was
trying to do pointer arithmetic on struct entries, by making the
multimethod entries into an array of function pointers. I've also
made the vtable functions take a pointer to the interpreter, in case
they need to do any GC stuff.
