The ability to embed arbitrary data in a pbc file under a named section. This data needs to be readable by the program when it runs, but is otherwise ignored by the rest of Parrot. My goal was to store a compact class representation that could be unpacked to create the necessary Parrot structures at runtime in some kind of "InitCsharpClass" library function. This usage may be moot once the Parrot metadata system is figured out. C# also embeds string and other UI resources directly into the program binary as a separate section. If I can create a section called "csharp.resources" or something, then I can plonk the necessary data in place and everything should work. Cheers, Rhys.
