Yeah. That falls into the "duh" category, I guess.

But, I'm still having some trouble:


.pcc_sub _consume_string prototyped
  .param str input

  .local int c
  .local int test

  .local Sub __char_is_white_space
  newsub __char_is_white_space, .Sub, _char_is_white_space

  .local Sub __char_is_digit
  newsub __char_is_digit, .Sub, _char_is_digit

CONSUME:
  ord c, input
  substr input, input, 1 # error:imcc:op not found 'ord_i_p' (ord<2>)

  ....


(Note that the complaint about ord_i_p is on the substr line,
and its as if it thinks input is a PMC not a string.
