IIUC, instead of create a new object (either a built-in PMC or an OO
object) in 1 instruction, it should now be done in 2?
Yes. It adds a small amount of tedious typing, but gains us a great deal
of power in our OO system. We will still have a 'new' opcode, but it
will likely only handle the simplest cases.
$P0 = new "HLLClass"
Or, can I also write:
$P0 = Integer.new() # create new Integer PMC object
$P1 = Hash.new() # create new Hash PMC object
No, we're eliminating bareword class names from PIR/PASM entirely. It's
easy to do that in an HLL, though.
