All Parrot typedef'd things will be in lower case with a leading cap. 
No data has a Parrot_ prefix--that's saved for the embedding and 
extending headers. The sole exception is the PMC, and only because 
that's an abbreviation so it's appropriate. That means Intval, 
String, Encoding, and whatnot.

I'm up in the air as to whether any of the core routines should have 
a Parrot prefix--I'm thinking not, as I don't think any of them 
should be exposed.
