IMCC yells at me when I say:

.namespace [ "Foo" ]

.sub new
...
.end

While it's tolerable for local symbols, subs really have to be
named according to the interface. Is it possible to allow:

.sub "new"
...
.end

Thanks,
Luke

Should be rather simple, yes. Good idea.

Done. Including:

$I0 = "new"()

Please note that currently the name of the PMC sub constant is passed
to PackFile code via sprintf/sscanf. This means that spaces and such are
not allowed, yet.

BTW it would be great if someone could go through the imcc docs, a lot
has changed recently, thanks.
