New description:
tcl currently subclasses ResizablePMCArray in a PMC, so that this:
{{{
.HLL 'Tcl'
.namespace []
.sub '&list'
.param pmc argv :slurpy
.return(argv)
.end
}}}
when invoked, is given an argv of type {{{TclList}}} instead of
{{{ResizablePMCArray}}}
Trying to convert that PMC to a PIR subclass, I find I can't get that
override working. Here's some sample PIR to demonstrate the problem:
{{{
.HLL 'Foo'
.HLL_map 'ResizablePMCArray' = 'RPA'
.sub main
$P1 = get_class 'ResizablePMCArray'
$P0 = subclass $P1, 'RPA'
joe('a','b','c')
.end
.sub joe
.param pmc argv :slurpy
$S0 = typeof argv
say $S0
.end
}}}
That prints out {{{ResizablePMCArray}}} instead of {{{RPA}}}.
