+Select the runcore. The following cores are available in Parrot, but not all
+may be available on your system:
slow, bounds bounds checking core (default)
- fast fast core (no bounds checking, profiling, or tracing)
- switch switch core
- cgp computed goto-predereferenced core
cgoto computed goto core
- jit JIT core
+ cgp computed goto-predereferenced core
cgp-jit computed goto-predereferenced core with JIT
- switch-jit switch core with JIT
exec exec core (uses JIT at compile time to generate native code)
- trace bounds checking core w/ trace info (see 'parrot --help-debug')
+ fast fast core (no bounds checking, profiling, or tracing)
gcdebug performs a full GC run before every op dispatch (good for
debugging GC problems)
