OOC, will there be a way to control where C gets its randomness
from? (e.g. perl's builtin PRNG, /dev/random, egd, etc)
Sure:
# Use RBR (Really Bad Randomness) algorithm...
temp *rand (Num ?$max = 1) {
return $max/2;
}
my $guess = @data.pick;

Yes. The function is

Do we disable junctions from playing with non-PurePerl functions? Or do
we autothread over them? How do we tell if a non-Perl function outputs

Of course. But I'm saying it's a rare case where they've have to. Or, at
least, where it will bite them if they don't.

Dynclasses are broken on Windows for two reasons:
1) Missing exported symbols
If the powers that be give me a sign how it should be done, I'll
gladly implement it.
What do people think of my previous proposal? Is it any good?

How about this: We separate things into 2 steps.
1) Create a .sym fi
I'd like to clean up string_init, because it currently backfires
(segfaults) on Windows if parrot is installed (empty
