C<get_string> is an excellent example for the POC. I've a first question
though: assuming that we might want to eliminate inferior runloops, what can
we do about usage of (e.g.) C<get_string> in:
a) print P0
b) foo(P0) # function call with Preg
...
.sub foo
.param string s # string param
a) could be easy by making the get_string explicit in the opcodes:
$S0 = P0 # imcc could handle this conversion
print $S0
but I see little chance to catch b) at compile time. And b) is of course
really nasty, as the C<get_string> is occuring during argument passing, which
has also to be used for any replacement functionality.
