181	Update VTABLE_morph to use a class PMC	whiteknight	Whiteknight	"This is a semi-continuation of RT#41825: http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=41825

VTABLE_morph currently uses INTVAL PMC type numbers. I've set up the 'morph' vtable override from PIR to take a string of a class name instead (and am actually going to update that to take a Class PMC instead). This creates a disconnect between what's present in PIR and what's used internally in C.

Been talking to pmichaud, and he says that VTABLE_morph should use a class PMC also. Ideally, the morph opcode should take the same kinds of parameters as the get_class opcode, although that is currently in limbo. See #8 for details about that work.

I was doing some work on this in the morph_pmc_type branch, but I'm going to temporarily abandon that to focus my energy on the get_class issue first."	todo	closed	normal	0.9.1	core		medium	fixed	vtable morph				all
