     93=== Will Lorito require us to port existing code from C to Lorito? === 
     94 
     95Every time we port code from C to Lorito, we get more benefits -- not just from the cleanliness of reimplementation and rethinking, but from the performance improvements of not crossing the C/Parrot boundary.  Even so, Lorito *must* allow the calling of C functions from its ops, so we can migrate existing Parrot to Lorito ops gradually.

     97This means that cleaning up existing C code is very valuable.
