w007, w00t. That is correct. :)

Would a few operators like
'find_or_store_reference_global' (shorten the name as
you like) be in order for those situations where you
want to store to a global but don't know if the
variable exists, yet? (This would, I think, be very
useful in languages where globals are not predelared).
> So, generally, the problem isn't one,
My only issue is that it's not always clear whether an
op is assigning to a reference PMC or just a PMC
register (or whatever). People like to write stuff
like
$P0 = new PerlInt # Value!
$P0 = 1 # Reference!
and that still bothers me. The int/float/pmc register
inconsistency and all. That I've bored y'all with
plenty of times already :)
