Yep. If the interface is in place, which it pretty much is, we can stub in
the allocation and deallocation stuff. For the moment it can be malloc and
free (or malloc and "Whoops, there leaks some memory!" :), but at least we
can keep on doing development in other areas while a memory management
system gets roughed out and implemented.
If the 0.02/0.03/0.04 versions of parrot leak, it's not that big a deal
since it's not like we've got a long-running persistent interpreter like
mod_parrot or anything... ;-)
