Currently, calling get_integer on a ParrotClass returns the attribute
count, so you can do:
newclass P1, "Foo"
addattribute P1, "foo_i"
addattribute P1, "foo_j"
set I1, P1
print I1
and the code will print '2'. Will this be part of the new API, or is it
simply a relic of the previous implementation.
Similarly, calling get_integer_keyed_str with a fully-qualified attribute
name returns the attribute offsets, meaning that this:
newclass P1, "Foo"
addattribute P1, "foo_i"
addattribute P1, "foo_j"
set I2, P1["Foo\x00foo_j"]
print I2
prints '1' -- is this part of the API or not?
Finally, a number of the current tests seem to rely on being able to
set and get attribute values with the syntax:
set P2["Foo\x00i"], 10
set P3["Foo\x00i"], 20
set I2, P2["Foo\x00i"]
set I3, P3["Foo\x00i"]
(where P2, P3 are objects of class Foo, and Foo has an attribute i).
Is this part of the API?
