Cool. This means I don't have to do a lookup everytime I want to use one of my
own types (per type per sub). Tcl will be patched shortly to take advantage.

The first steps for HLL language and type support are in. You can now
dynamically load a HLL _group PMC library by just including a .HLL line
in PASM/PIR, e.g.
.HLL "Tcl", "tcl_group"
...
$P0 = new .TclInt # Integer constant
Note that
$P0 = new TclInt
also seems to work (no dot)
The ".HLL" pragma registers at compile time the given HLL language name
within src/hll.c and loads the given library with Parrot_load_lib().
Please note that this does not yet work for .pbc files as the HLL isn't
stored in the PBC yet (this will come soon).
See also t/dynclass/foo.t for 2 examples.
Have fun,
