all PMCs (src/pmc/*.pmc) should be tested. the basic types, as defined
in PDD17 (docs/pdds/clip/pdd17_basic_types.pod) should be given higher
priority, so tests should be developed first to cover these.

not surprisingly, basic types have a number of tests already, but
there are holes in test coverage that should be plugged. after basic
types are well-tested, remaining PMC types distributed in the parrot
core should be targeted.

this is a job that requires the ability to read c source, and read and
write pir and/or pasm test code. however, deep knowledge of these
languages is not required.

takers most welcome.
