Above docs state, that a gernal parrot op looks like this op dest[dkey], src1[skey1], src2[skey2] e.g. add P0[P1], P2, P3[P4] where P1 and P4 are keys and P0 and P3 are aggregates and P2 is a scalar. Several questions arise from these pdd's: 1) Are above pdd's valid, WRT this 3 key opcodes?

Maybe I should wait for the entire picture here, but in cases like this (int $x, string $y) = some_function() it would be nice to pass in both type _and_ number of return values. Or, more generally, to consider the type of a list to be a list of the types of its members. This means tha

I couldn't find any example of using a MultiArray PMC. I tried on my own, but failed miserably. from what I've seen, it seems that is impossible to properly initialize a multidimensional MultiArray. I've tried this: new P1, .MultiArray, 1000 set P1[0;0], 1 set P1[0;1],
