This afternoon I accidentally hit the Send button before I was ready. So here are yet more questions I/we ought to be able to answer:

7. PASM is Parrot's assembly language. In our repository there are 36 '.pasm' files, but of these all but two -- ./runtime/parrot/include/fp_equality.pasm and ./src/dynpmc/main.pasm -- are found under t/ or examples/. Why do we have so few .pasm files in the source code?

8. What are the purposes of the top-level directories in the Parrot distribution? Would they each benefit from short READMEs explaining that?

9. In an installed Parrot, we install 93 '.dump' files underneath ./src/parrot/. These are Perl 5 Storable files:

  $ file src/parrot/3.5.0-devel/pmc/sockaddr.dump
src/parrot/3.5.0-devel/pmc/sockaddr.dump: perl Storable (v0.7) data (major 2) (minor 8)

Why do they get installed?

Answers?  Your questions?

Thank you very much.
