What's supposed to happen is that each class has a backing namespace, and
methods all live in that namespace. Generally objects, no matter what
their HLL class, will be PMCs that have subclassed (at the parrot level)
ParrotObject.
Anyway, for a perl/python/ruby object of class Foo, to add a new method
you'd just add a new sub/method name/PMC binding to the Foo namespace.
