Hi all,
I'm new to Parrot and Perl6. I hope this is an ok way to submit a patch.

Agreed. I had started to implement this already, but
I've only done the add function so far, since I'm
still testing and waiting for a consensus.

Looks good to me. Couple of quick things, when I applied the patch
locally, it indented the end bracket of the invoke op in core.ops which
breaks ops2c.pl. Also the patch removed the yield op from core.ops, was
this intentional? More comments below.

Let me rephrase. How should the PerlArray pmc handle
negative indecis when the absolute value of the index
is greater than the size of the array. Here are some
examples:

Am I allowed to write ancillary functions I want the JIT to call in
assembler? I presume that the JIT needs to go fast, and I suspect that there
are some bits that are easier to write in assembler (eg rotates for figuring
out constants) than in C, for the same amount of eventual speed.
