Comment:
Attached is an example patch that switches Integer to use a simple
is_equal VTABLE function with a switch. I have two questions about it:
First, is what should happen in general or am I missing something/doing
something wrong? All tests pass except one.
Second, the failing test is the last one in t/pmc/array.t. It happens
because Array's is_equal VTABLE function uses
Parrot_mmd_multi_dispatch_from_c_args to call is_equal. Since Integer
doesn't have an is_equal MULTI anymore, this dispatches to the wrong place
(maybe Undef's is_equal MULTI?). What code needs to be fixed in this
case?
