Rules are just subs or methods, so you do it the same way you do a sub
or method. (I think. :^) )

I don't know Melvin's plan for other targets - but - as parrot is very
special

I would argue that it is in some sense, if not an Official Perl 6 Exception,
since it jumps out of several levels of a match. But yeah, I'm probably
just looking at this from an imp

That's different, then. Then the whole issue of syntax goes away.
Unless the data interchange format is textual; but even then, you'd
want a syn
I've just got a cvaazy idea. Why not have a multihash.pmc, multdimensional
hashes. I've been going through perlhash code and my multiarray code and,
as i see it, its doable. Why would we want something like that one

I don't think so.
It would probably result in $0 containing an array

Yy!!
It's a fact that we have a problem with pmc's that has custom functions
which dosent fit into the vtable. Therefore i suggest we add a pointer in
pmc struct that points to a function list, Also adding 3
functions to vtable struct that manipulates this list.
register_function( PMC *p, void *func

I have implemented a simple hash iterator, but I'm not
sure that the logic is correct. this shows how the PMC
behaves actually:
new P1, .PerlHash # build a simple hash
set P1["foo"], 1
set P1["bar"], 2
set P1["baz"], 3
dec P1 # reset the it
