`add_method`	Adds a new method to the PMC's class
`add_parent`
`add_role`
`add_vtable_override`
`assign_pmc`	Assigns a PMC value to the PMC
`assign_string_native`	Assigns a string to the PMC
`bitwise_not`
`bitwise_nots`
`can`
`clone`
`clone_pmc`
`decrement`	Decrements the integer value of the PMC by 1
`defined`	Determines if the PMC is defined
`defined_keyed`
`defined_keyed_int`
`defined_keyed_str`
`delprop`	Deletes a property from the PMC
`destroy`	Destroy the PMC
`does`
`does_pmc`
`elements`
`exists_keyed`
`exists_keyed_int`
`exists_keyed_str`
`find_method`
`freeze`
`get_attr`
`get_bignum`	Gets the BigNum representation of the PMC
`get_bool`	Gets the boolean representation of the PMC
`get_class`
`get_integer`	Gets the integer representation of the PMC
`get_integer_keyed`
`get_integer_keyed_int`
`get_integer_keyed_str`
`get_iter`
`get_namespace`
`get_number`	Gets the floating-point representation of the PMC
`get_number_keyed`
`get_number_keyed_int`
`get_number_keyed_str`
`get_pmc`	Gets the PMC representation of the PMC
`get_pmc_keyed`
`get_pmc_keyed_int`
`get_pmc_keyed_str`
`get_pointer`
`get_pointer_keyed`
`get_pointer_keyed_int`
`get_pointer_keyed_str`
`get_repr`
`get_string`	Gets the string representation of the PMC
`get_string_keyed`
`get_string_keyed_int`
`get_string_keyed_srt`
`getprop`	Get the value of a certain property from the PMC
`getprops`
`i_absolute`
`i_bitwise_not`
`i_bitwise_nots`
`i_logical_not`
`i_net`
`increment`	Increments the integer value of the PMC by 1
`init`	Initializes the PMC. This method is called when the `new` keyword is used to create a new PMC.
`init_pmc`
`inspect`
`inspect_str`
`instantiate`
`invoke`	The invoke vtable method is called when the PMC is called like a function. In the following code: .local pmc mypmc = new 'MyPMCType' mypmc() The invoke vtable method is called on the second line when the PMC is treated as a function call. For string functions, for example, the string class uses the value of the string to look up a function with the same name, and then invokes that function. Subroutine PMCs invoke the given function when they are called.
`is_same`
`isa`
`isa_pmc`
`logical_not`
`mark`	Mark the PMC and all its children as alive for the memory manager. This prevents children of the PMC from being collected prematurely by the garbage collector.

`nextkey_keyed`
`nextkey_keyed_int`
`nextkey_keyed_str`
`pop_float`	If the PMC is an array, pops a floating point value off the top of it
`pop_integer`	If the PMC is an array, pops an integer value off the top of it
`pop_pmc`	If the PMC is an array, pops a PMC value off the top of it
`pop_string`	If the PMC is an array, pops a string value off the top of it
`push_float`	If the PMC is an array, pushes a floating point value onto the top of it
`push_integer`	If the PMC is an array, pushes an integer onto the top of it
