HLL's, PMCs...

Is it possible to load a languages PMCs and create the .PMCtype constants without using the .HLL pragma? .HLL mucks with namespaces, which I don't want to (am not prepared to) deal with at the moment in APL. I do, however, want to dynamically load a library containing a PMC for APL to use.

Release done

Variadic Multi-Dispatch (or, M-D on certain invocants only)

Hi there, I have a spot in Pheme where I'd like to use multi-dispatch on only the first argument to a function. The function itself is slurpy. That is: .sub some_function :multi( Array ) .param pmc args # ... .end .sub some_function :mul
