#162: Parrot segfaults if specifying a non-sensical namespace

-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
while inspecting imcc's parser, I noticed that a key, in a keylist, is in
fact a <var>. A var can be a target, which is just a register.
So, this is allowed:
.namespace [$P0]
which doesn't make sense *at all*.
Parrot will segfault on this.
I think the simplest solution is to fix this in the parser (imcc.y); by
changing some rules, we can fully disallow writing $P0 (registers in
general) as namespace keys.
