Probably, the timing of the proposition is wrong. But having Leo thinking out loud and putting out propositions is a good way for less trained people to learn about the current behavior of parrot, its strengths and deficiencies. Also, as we expect code written and generated for parrot to grow faster in the months to come , it may good to prepare people for possible future changes in calling conventions. Personnally I am all for writing and generating PIR so as to insulate code from the said changes. Putting your architect hat, Dan, can you spell a policy in this matter? -- stef
