Nobody's doing a get_integer on key PMCs--we're peeking directly.
(Integer lookup can also be done via the keyed_int method of the
vtable)
Basically we need to make sure that the hash we're using as a
scratchpad can be looked up by integer index for speed reasons. I
thought we'd split it out into a Hash class the way we'd done with
Array, but I guess not.
In that case, PerlHash should be able to be looked up by integer key
for now, and we'll see what we need to do to make things error out at
the language level.
