Presumably individual languages will have their own routines - I would expect anything in library that isn't in a language-specific directory to be PIR/PASM specific.
I agree about the namespace issues though. definitely something to keep an eye on.
Wasn't there talk about Class names in parrot being prefixed by their language? (in which case we've each got our own namespace to pollute)

I'm not sure what that means, but Data::Replace seems too vague. What is it?
Data::Escape contains a function "String" that escapes the string.
Wouldn't escape_string be better?
(And I wonder how different languages escape strings, and if there's a common subset that'll work for all/most of them.)
