Interesting. And what happens about XSUB compatibility?
I will be writing up more, but essentially we are going to create a thin compatibility layer around parrot that most of the perl core will use, essentially I hope not to touch too much of anything except av.* sv.* hv.* cv.* pp* and op*. So the lexer, regex engine and all support code will use the old API (except perhaps in some high speed points), this will automatically mean we must support enough of the API to make XS modules work as well.
