I'll say this: in the general case, we'll be using PerlPMCArray, not
PerlIntArray. PerlIntArray might be used for compiler optimizations,
though.

We could have it both ways--have both AUTO_OP new(p, ic) and AUTO_OP
new(p, sc). FWIW, though, I don't think the class numbers are actually
being used right now--all the tests in pmc.t use 'new Px, 0', no matter
what type they'll end up being.
