I've seen. I'm convinced. Uhm. Wow, cool.

Andrew, are you planning to do any more on this? If so, let me know if we can
do anything that will make it easier for you - more information, more things
implemented, or whatever.

You know, it would be quite an embarrassment to me if there was a
Python->Parrot compiler before a Perl->Parrot one. Not that I'm offering a
challenge, or anything. ;)
