The attached patch makes the Hash PMC use basic PMCs by default. Native
integers, numbers and strings are now stored as Integer, Float and
String PMCs. For keys without values, the Undef PMC is returned, as it
is laid out in pdd17.
As already mentioned: the Hash PMC is mainly used inside Parrot to manage internals. For a non-existent key NULL should be returned.
WRT type mappings: we need a more general scheme for mappings of basic types to Perl, python, whatever.
