Just to be specific then, the steps would be:
- allocate a new PMC
- mark it as constant (PMC_constant_FLAG) or call the register op on
the PMC (though does this have interpreter-specific meaning?)
- store it somewhere that other interpreters and other trips through
the function can access it (don't know how to do this)
- stuff the Hash into the data pointer of the constant PMC, when
initializing the table
- retrieve the PMC and its hash all other times
If that's reasonable, I'll hack on it a bit today. If there's a simpler
way, please point me at code to inspire me and I'll hack on that
instead.
