On a somewhat related note, I'd very much like the ability for two LexInfo names to point to the same underlying register, as it would make certain Perl6isms easier ($!foo vs $foo, for example). Leo explained on #parrot a while ago that there's nothing architecturally forbidding it, but the current implementation uses a 1:1 mapping for simplicity. Is it possible to get a 1:N mapping from registers to names?
