Indeed. I suspect, though, that if the test program exercises a sizable
chunk of Python's functionality, we won't see a Parrot-based
implementation that can run it. 2004 is a long time away, time enough
for the PyPy effort to bear fruit.
Guido, when it comes time to write the benchmark program, please get in
touch with me; I'd like to help produce a realistic test program.
