Sounds good. C<add_p_p_p> and friends isn't really fast now due to some type checks. And that's only for Perl types. Would be much more for multiple HLL. Putting in specialized MMD functions for each type combination is better, but can cause huge tables for too much [types*vtable_entries]**2. But anyway I think it's the right thing todo. But we have to consider "utility" PMCs like C<Env> or C<*struct> that don't really match the concept of MMD. leo
