PMCs will bear more than a passing resemblance to PyObjects, when
implemented. The main difference is that we won't use the indirection
of a PyTypeObject, but will use a vtable pointer directly.

Oh, and I'm just about to rewrite the bytecode format so that it groks
multiple types of constant, including other bytecode streams, at which point
it'll bear rather more than a passing resemblance to a PyCodeObject.

Then we might start losing the Perl people. Heee. :)
