correctly is handling inheritance.
A bigger issue for automatic read-only variant generation is that MMD
methods currently don't do any read-onlyness detection. (Sorry!)
This is now fixed.

I appreciate the quality of the stm code in general. You're being careful,

I hope when STM is done[*] you'll keep hacking on Parrot.

ANOTHER NAMING THING

e.g. 'ro_variant_vtable', to make clear that it's not a class pointer
or type number.
Done (using suggested name).

Description: Binary data
I'm the student doing the summer of code project to implement STM in
parrot. I've created a branch of parrot named 'stm' for this purpose.
So, to start off, a copyright question:
It would be nice to use libraries that provide relatively portable
atomic operation support (needed for good implemen
