Well, 'say' is a parrotio METHOD, not a String METHOD:
METHOD INTVAL say(STRING *s)
so the SELF is an io PMC and nothing is hard. Expressing to_int() as a
method where the SELF is a String PMC leaves the string registers out in the
cold.
The 'say' opcode also requires hackery in src/builtin.c; but since "requires
hackery" seems to be the status quo ante for half of Parrot, perhaps I should
let that go unmentiond. Oops, too late. ("Bitter? Oh, a *tad*.")

No kidding. :-/
