These sound very close to what we'll need to imlement any() and all(), so we'll probably need container PMCs that can represent multiple contained PMCs of any type. $status = any(4, "Interrupted system call"); ? :-) (I think Brent Dax has it right, though, that $! should be a full exception object.)
