DAVEM TPF grant#2 weekly report for weeks #195-#197

(this report covers 3 weeks)

Been a slow time since Christmas: my mother has been in hospital for 6
weeks, and is now at home slowly recuperating, so I've spent a lot of time
staying at my parents' house and not concentrating so much on perl.

(As the protagonist's mother in "Brazil" put it, "my complications have
had complications".)

The main thing I've been working on for the last 3 weeks has been various
issues with overloading and the new multiconcat op. I decided that rather
than continue adding more and more special-case handling to the existing
code, I would handle the overloading in pp_multiconcat() in a different
way which should avoid most edge cases. This work is nearly done. I don't
yet know whether it will the panacea I hope it is.
