Thanks for the link. But I think, while the idea is quite nice, it's not
really useful for us. It looks rather mono-specific and is (of course)
running a stack machine.

I want to make an loose analogy between pmc/their_content and
Unix inodes/files which I use as a mnemonic.
PMCs are the equivalent of inodes, each one
reference some content which is the equivalent of a file.
C, when the source and the destination pmcs are of the same type,
is like creating a har

pmc_type is documented and implemented as follows:

Returns the PMC type for C.

INTVAL
pmc_type(Parrot_Interp interp, STRING *name)
{

This doesn't address the deeper problem, but we could also simplify the
whole function by just doing:
static size_t
find_common_mask(size_t val1, size_t val2)
{
size_t mask = ~0;
size_t diff = val1 ^ val2;
while (diff & mask)
mask <<= 1;
return mask;
}
