If I define a sub as:

.sub print
.param string arg
print arg
.end

Then I cannot invoke it using the IMCC "short way":
print("hello")
because I get this error:
error:imcc:op not found 'print' (print<0>)

But I have to invoke it like this:
find_global $P0, "print"
$P0("hello")

You can invoke it the "almost short way":

"print"("hello")

You can also define the sub like this:

.sub "print"
.param string arg
print arg
.end

Which is quite nice for compiler writers.

That looks really great, but when I try it in 0.1.1 (on Windows), I get:

error:imcc:parse error, unexpected '(', expecting '\n'

You'd need latest from CVS, sorry.
