This IS! strange to me that Steves patch made it into parrot while my Matrix patch didnt just because i had a file in the core of parrot called matrix_core.c. Dan wanted everything in one file. Why should my matrix code live in only one file while both perlhash.pmc and intlist and coroutine and others use external code. I feel that its VERY hard to contribute as an outsider. If parrot wants to grow to a serious VM it has to accept other peoples patches. /Josef
