Re: [perl #38201] Integer pmc doesn't make store an int

[Will Coleda]

FYI, the builtin types automatically shimmer based on assignment.
.sub main :main
     $N0 = 3.14
     $P0 = new .Integer
     $P0 = $N0
     $S0 = typeof $P0
     print $S0
     print "\n"
     print $P0
     print "\n"
.end

prints:

Float
3.14

The assignment of an N register causes the Integer PMC to morph to a  
Float.
