1868	[DEPRECATED] PIR compiler availability	plobsing	whiteknight	"PIR as a language is currently always available in parrot. This privileged status is part of why PIR is a growing pain for Parrot (usually experienced as hatred for IMCC).

PIR will become no different to parrot than any language. It will not be baked-in to libparrot and be always available. In stead, PIR will become a separately loadable component.

PIR will remain available to Parrot programs, however it will require loading before use (via the load_language instruction).

A separate executable (tentatively named ""parrot-imcc"") will be made available for compiling and running PIR programs as the main parrot executable does today."	deprecation	assigned	normal	2.11	core	2.10.0	medium
