Class inheritance from PMCs is very static still (like PMC-only cases). I hope
that the :vtable patches will provide the base for a better solution. For now,
you can only implement the mssing _integer_keyed cases in Match so that default
isn't triggered. We could of course remove the defaults too, but that would
need a very complete set of these keyed vtables on all PMCs.
Or how about removing them from default.pmc and having an extra
attribute specifiable on PMCs like "auto_keyed" (uh, somebody please
think of a less naff name) that generates missing keyed methods for
those PMCs that want them.
I discovered the same issue when implementing :vtable, and it can
produce some misleading error messages - you get a "no
get_integer_keyed" error when you know full well the code is doing a
get_integer_keyed_int.
