Who owns the bytecode format? How do I propose changes?
Nobody in particular at the moment, and note your change proposals to
the list.
I need

Nope, I wasn't going to bother. All variables are PMCs. The int/string/num
things are for internal speed hacks.
But can't a compiler generate one of these internal hacks? My thoughts are

Simon just chastised me for talking instead of patching.
Most of the stuff I'm interested in is heavily related to
the implementation of lexicals, so that's where I'm going
to jump in.
There are a number of decisions to make about lexicals
and the current PDD is pretty slim. So, IMHO, the place
