I know, and it shouldn't really matter since I haven't changed the
code, it is still using all the macros to get the normal pointers
except that it happens through an indirection.
So AvARRAY calls Perl_macro_AvARRAY that does a
Parrot_PMC_get_pointer and then return &(xav->xav_array) for example.
So it shouldn't be changing anything.
