Fwd: PBC, Const Tables, and STRINGs

[kjstol]

chromatic,

just for my understanding (and other lurkers perhaps), you mean that a
Sub is now stored in the constant table as a Sub PMC, and each of its
attributes is stored as other constants (mostly STRINGs), and you
would prefer to make that one blob? Basically, rather than a "graph"
of constants (root is the Sub PMC and it has indexes to other entries
in the constant table), it becomes one PMC that represents everything
the sub needs/has (such as the various names for the sub :flags). Is
this correct?
