It will leave the registration of the files being loaded to the actual language, if the language happens to want to implement a feature like that.

I think one goal of Parrot is to allow using code written in many different languages (Perl5, Perl6, Python, Ruby) simultaneously. This seems to imply that classes created in these languages are interoperable (by adhering to the standards layed down in PDD15), and that Parrot should provide the mechanism to load and register them.

Thus, I am assuming that "keeping track of %INC" will eventually be handled by Parrot, but how exactly is not yet specified. Is that it?
