Comment:
I don't know for a fact that all these vtables are dead code, but I
suspect it. There's no way to access them from PIR that I can find, and I
don't think parrot uses Capture PMC internally for anything. I can imagine
HLLs making use of it somehow, like a subclass whose get_x_keyed_pmc
vtable redirected to the get_x_keyed_str vtable of the parent type, but
that's about it (and doesn't seem too compelling to me anyway).
I would really like to hear if anybody is using these vtables or, more
generally, if anybody is using the Capture PMC for any purpose. I suspect
Capture is being used, but I would not be surprised to hear that it is
not.
