Dynamic keys

The one part of the keyed access puzzle that my last patch did not attempt to address is that of constructing keys dynamically. As things stand you can create a key PMC and you can set the value of that PMC to a given integer, number, string or PMC value. What you can't do is join several key PMC

is MANIFEST up-to-date?

Currently, a fresh checkout of the cvs tree contains 2215 files, but only 497 of them are listed in MANIFEST. Most are the icu/ files, but there are scattered others as well. I'm unsure if all of them are supposed to be in MANIFEST yet (e.g. is icu a work-in-progress?) but could those who have

Okay, I just added a big chunk of code to imcc. The code does two main things: - changes imcc syntax to disallow newlines within ops. You can still have all the newlines you want between ops and after labels, but this: if $P1 goto label will no longer work. Since no one app
