A bit? They would be utterly useless. As a plain: add Px, Py, Pz (as well as almost any other PMC related opcode) can be overloaded by running a PASM/PIR function, there is no usage for other registers then P at all. (S registers have value sematics, they are of course invalidated too) Perl6 natural types would be unimplementable - go figure ... That'll cause the biggest architecture change ever. But we don't do such changes now - says Dan - so I'm not worried ;) And Dan's "proposal" does still not solve the reuse of temporary registers. > JEff leo
