Would it make sense to implement the PostgreSQL SPI interface as a set
of Parrot PMC's; then ANY HLL on Parrot could use those PMC's? Or could
the SPI be wrapped by PERL for example, and then the OTHER HLL's simply
use the classes/objects of the PERL interface?

It would also seem reasonable that *IF* the promotion checking requires any
significant amount of resources that there be a non-promoting version/mode of

i = i + 1; === Should be able to be designated *somehow* to not
BigNum is an arbitrary precision decimal number (Think BCD -- Binary Coded
Decimal ala the Unix utility BC)

So, would it have things like
$i = $j /E $k
$i = $j %E $k
which would both throw and exception if $k == 0 whereas
$i = $j / $k
$i = $j % %k
would not throw an exception and would instead return NaN

Okay, so:
1) We round to zero when going from float to int
2)
Oops. I meant BigNum.

How do you make the copy/move of the object from one location in memory and
the update of the pointer to the pointer ATOMIC? If you don't, it doesn't
matter how many layers of indirection you have, it will still be a problem

advocates JAVA/JVM as the future of the Open Source Desktop.
