Or worse, in /^a(b)c/i, where you want to capture the original character,
not the case-folded version?

Will these all map t
hat +%hash will return the number of elements. It
should be safe to assume that +@array does the same.

Bytecode iteration means that this just ends up calling the normal scalar op,
and stuffing the result into an array.
Looks like I'm in favour of bytecode iteration for hyperoperators after all.

I is for indent, which rarely
user defined operator;
it could actually want one scalar and one array operand. Maybe we should
have multiple carets to denote hyper-hyper-operators if that's what the
user wants:
@a = @b ^^* @c;
If hyperoperators get transformed into loops behind the scenes, this
shouldn't be too hard to implement.

nt the base class method to be called, just because parrot
does things in a peculiar order. Well, I know it's the same order that perl5
does things, but it's still peculiar.

Bear in mind that I have never used threads and can't remember how they work

more complex than a native type is inherently
recursive. Either you use up call stack space recursing over the PMCs, or
you need an explicitly manage a stack/queue of PMCs not yet serialised.
Have I missed some wonder of modern computing, or just something so obvious
I can't see it?
