This request is a little cryptic. imcc_run_pbc() calls Parrot_runcode,
which also is a void return type. Parrot_runcode in turn calls
Parrot_runops_fromc_args, which returns a PMC*. Should we propagate the
PMC* return value from Parrot_runops_fromc_args all the way up to
imcc_run_pbc and return that, or should we coerce that value into a
boolean type and return that?

Or, should we determine the success or failure of the function and
return that status value?

It will be easy enough to add a return value to this function(s) if we
know what we want to be returning.
