Comment(by whiteknight):
First off, I can't imagine that this works at all. Looking through the
code, it makes pervasive use of the Parrot_Sub_attributes* structure and
the PMC_get_sub() macro. This is why derived types like Closure and
Coroutine would probably not work well, and why other user-defined
subclasses would stand no chance in hell of working.
Rather than making this feature work in IMCC/PIR at this point, I suggest
we rip it out instead. We remove a feature that I suspect people aren't
using now (because I suspect it's unusable), and we clean up IMCC just a
tinsey-weensy little bit.
