Actually, the way P6C does it is very different than the way perl5 does it; P6C
matches straight through rather than by finding the end and then reparsing the middle.
This is because perl6 needs to handle stuff like "%var{"var"}", which wouldn't work
at all in perl5. Check out P6C/Parser.pm and P6C/Tree/String.pm for more details.
Also, how do these perl6 builtins in perl6 work with the current P6C/Builtins.pm?
(also, why are some that are already defined in pure pasm/part of the parrot core
redefined as perl6 code?)
