Taking your advice to heart, I'll dive in with an initial question about
this particular bug.  :-)

I don't know which particular files "*PMCArrays" refers to in #34394.
I assume that at least some of the C source files in classes/ that
use Parrot_default_splice instead of their own splice instead of
Parrot_*PMCArray_splice are the ones that need to be changed.

    $ grep -l Parrot_default_splice *.c | grep array
    fixedbooleanarray.c
    fixedfloatarray.c
    fixedintegerarray.c
    fixedpmcarray.c
    fixedstringarray.c
    floatvalarray.c
    resizablebooleanarray.c
    resizablefloatarray.c
    resizableintegerarray.c
    resizablepmcarray.c
    resizablestringarray.c
    sarray.c
    stringarray.c

I'll start with fixedpmcarray.c, but #34394 also mentions boolean arrays.
Any others?

Regards,

Nick
