I already ripped out the ones that were not referenced: Here's what's left; 

* Parrot_mmd_add_function
  - src/inter_create.c //make_interpreter
* mmd_expand_x
  - src/multidispatch.c //Parrot_mmd_register[0]
* mmd_expand_y
  - src/multidispatch.c //Parrot_mmd_register[0]
* Parrot_mmd_register
  - src/multidispatch.c //get_mmd_dispatch_type[1]
  - src/multidispatch.c //Parrot_mmd_register_sub[0]
* Parrot_mmd_register_sub
  - src/multidispatch.c //get_mmd_dispatch_type[1]
* Parrot_mmd_destroy
  - src/inter_create.c //Parrot_really_destroy
* Parrot_MMD_search_default_infix
  - src/multidispatch.c //get_mmd_dispatch_type[1]
* Parrot_mmd_search_default
  - src/multidispatch.c //Parrot_MMD_search_default_infix[0]
* mmd_cvt_to_types
  - src/multidispatch.c //Parrot_mmd_get_cached_multi_sig

[0] - this function is also deprecated in this ticket, no worries.
[1] - This is only called from src/pic.c, scheduled for demolition in RT 
#60048.

Can someone familiar with the MMD guts suggest how to proceed on the two 
functions listed here still in use?
