(Bonus points for clever acronyms gotten > without strain, or puns in any human language) I was using .pas and .pac. Gotta think about 8.3ness, unfortunately. On an unrelated note, and seeing Dan Bryan's experiments with different kinds of switch/dispatch, I think it makes sense to separate out ops which correspond to PMC vtable functions (add, subtract, etc.) and those which don't. Those which do can be done with a switch to save a function call, and those which don't can use function pointers. This achieves the same objective as auto-generating op wrappers around vtable functions, (saving one level of indirection) while leveraging the gain from a split-level op despatch loop.
