I am innocent of oofib.* :-) I just created the oo[34].{pl,py,rb,pasm}
today, and Leo did the oo[56].{pasm,imc}. But yes, that was a clear and
dangerous temptation, thinking of using the integer registers for the
oo[34].pasm instead of PerlInts. I also note that doing a getattribute
is of course not doing as much work as getattribute AND then binding
that result to a lexical variable.
