Since I'm working on a compiler that requires objects, and seeing as how
we have a python compiler now hanging over our heads, what work is
necessary to finish up the object system?

I notice that ParrotObject only has [get|set]_integer_keyed.  I assume
we intend to make those for the rest of the data types.

Also, in order to support anonymous classes, I'd like the method table
to be in the class object itself, as opposed to in mangled globals.  Is
this also something I could tackle?

What else could I do?

Thanks,
Luke
