Comment(by allison):
We don't really want to provide a way to get at the raw memory address of
a PMC from PIR, because we want a copying/compacting garbage collector,
which means the memory address can change. PIR code that relies on a
consistent memory address for a PMC is broken.
I'm fine with changing the name of the get_addr and set_addr opcodes to
get_pointer and set_pointer to match the vtable functions. (Not
get_label/set_label, because that's just as bad about imposing some set of
semantics on the pointer, which can really be anything.)
The call to Parrot_quicksort should be using a GET_ATTR accessor.
