 config.pir is a mechanism for accessing most of the data collected by

+At the end of a successful C<make> of Parrot, a PIR file generated by
 Configure is run to put a file, F<config.fpmc>, into the library with a
 frozen Hash of the configuration data.  This library provides a
 function, C<_config>, to unpack and return that file's data.
 
 C<_config> does not take any parameters.  It returns a single Hash
 containing the data.  Keys that were C<undef> in Configure contain a
-C<None> PMC; otherwise they contain a C<String>.
+null string; otherwise they contain a non-null, possibly empty, string.
 
 Note that the behavior of that hash when writing to any value (especially
 undefined values) is undefined, and may be rather funky.
