There should be a list somewhere in docs/ showing all the possible effects
that calling the .hll_map() method on ParrotInterpreter can have - list
the given core PMC type, and then what changes will occur when registering
a mapping for that type . (NB: Mappings can also be registered for PMCs
with the 'maps' declaration.)
For example, mapping ResizablePMCArray overrides the PMC type used for
:slurpy parameter args.
Grep for usages of Parrot_get_ctx_HLL_type in the source to get the
current listing.
All usages need to have tests as well.
