    3939I noticed a bug in `our` variable vivification (#1308). In essence, a sub referencing a global variable does not have viv code inserted, so the global had better be defined on entry, or you need to use the pir::opcodes to check it, or you need to be doing a blind initialization.

     41=== Indexes are using integers ===

     43As of this writing (20 Feb 2010), I have seen [] index notation coerce pmcs into integers: 
     44{{{ 
     45    find_lex $P81, "$key" 
     46    set $I82, $P81 
     47    getinterp $P83 
     48    set $P84, $P83[$I82] 
     49}}} 
     50 
     51Using a non-integer-indexed PMC type (anything with a Key, for instance) now should use {} indexing.
