With autoboxing/unboxing, there's not really a need to differentiate

Coming into this discussion from the middle (and having not read
pdd15 in great detail), what about HLLs that map the I/S/N registers
to other autobox types (e.g., Int/Str/Num for perl6)?
If you were doing a multi dispatch on Int/Str/Num, wouldn't you want to
specify it as Int/Str/Num in the signature? The .HLL_map directive
should take care of the rest.
