+This file is basically a dump of all "pir::" occurrences in the nqp codebase,
+then looked at by pm and jnthn to determine what needs to be done with them
+(and to act as a sort of short / mid-term activity schedule for lizmat).
+Please update as necessary.
+
+stay pir for now, until we know how to do constants:
+pir::const::CCLASS_ALPHABETIC
+pir::const::CCLASS_ALPHANUMERIC
+pir::const::CCLASS_ANY
+pir::const::CCLASS_BLANK
+pir::const::CCLASS_CONTROL
