embedding API

[Jeff Horwitz]

i'm beginning to explore the concept of embedding parrot so i can
eventually add Perl 6 support to extproc_perl (embeds perl in oracle).
i was talking with dan at OSCON a few weeks ago about accessing data from
an embedded parrot interpreter, and i know he is probably moving it up in
his priority list, but is anyone else actively working on a spec for data
access? i'm particulary concerned with the getting and setting of
arbitrary registers, so i can pass values to subs and retrieve return
values. then again, i wonder how that would work with IMCC...

chromatic pointed me to brent's stab at this:

http://archive.develooper.com/perl6-i...@perl.org/msg11922.html

but i'm not sure if anything came of that thread. is it appropriate to
start thinking about this now or are there major hurdles that still have
to be crossed?
