Perhaps surprisingly, none of these methods are mentioned in pdd22:

I noticed this when working on pbc_to_exe, because I was scanning
pdd22 to find out the "proper" way to check for EOF, and couldn't
find any mention of it in the PDD.  :-)

This line has a typo:

> +  $P0.'buffer_tpe'()

Also, many of the method invocations in PDD22 use the 
old C< $P1.method() > syntax, and I think that PIR now 
requires us to use C< $P1.'method'() > instead.
