Which parrot can already do. (Or at least could, but I don't think that
anyone's been checking on it recently)
Er, right -- I'd meant to say that there, but I must have lost it when I 
decided my verbiage was horrible and rewrote it.  (There's a reason I 
don't post often.)

Mostly, though, they require fairly minimal support from the core.  Only 
1 requires C<perl> support, and that support is very minimal.  The 
and as you say all this really isn't about perl 6 the language.
Exactly -- most of this sort of thing is about perl's standard library, 
which I think is a discussion for much, much later, and a discussion 
(one that, for the most part, is finished) for perl6-language (the part 
of the list that should be renamed to parrot).
