A patch file to convery from Perl to PIR

[jkeenan]

This looks very interesting. It would benefit from a coda similar to that in t/pmc/object.t identifying the file as PIR to text editors.

The biggest problem I see to applying it is that we really haven't resolved the issue in  RT #46821: Should readonly be deep or shallow?. I think you should leave that comment in.

But, of course, what we should really do is to resolve the issues raised in that RT. I am CC-ing some contributors to that discussion to this TT.

Thank you very much.

The patch looks like a straightforward conversion to PIR, mod a few housekeeping changes. I removed the reference to Perl6, added a coda and a note about RT #46821 and applied the patch as r38684. Thanks for contributing!

I'll ask about the RT at the next #ps.
