Great. And for more fun I've created the basics of a NCI interface [1]
for ast functions. Heavily underdocumented and unfinished (as of an hour
hacking time ;-), but maybe someone takes it over and continues it. It
needs trunk rev 8598 for some added NCI signatures in src/call_list.txt.

It needs probably also a split into a "Past" and "Node" classes.
Compiling the resulting top node is also missing, but it should be quite
simple to either call the ast compile / emit functions with NCI or
create a better interface for that (I didn't look yet).

PS due to upcoming changes in parrot opcodes, you might avoid the
'compile' opcode. Instead:

compi = compreg 'PIR'
prog = compile compi, 'the_code'

the future is:

prog = compi('the_code')

i.e. just invoke the compiler.

Indeed it is. The nice thing about 'bc' is that is fairly simple, but
still has variables and subroutines.
It might also be a neat test case for a future BigNum PMC, as the specs
that it must support multi precission decimal coded numbers.

For my humble efforts, I'm just trying to make the step from evaluationg
'1+1' to evaluating '1+1+1'.

Anybody knows about a bc test suite?

CU, Bernhard
