This removal (get_pointer in Default PMC) breaks 2 libraries for Lua on Parrot :
1) https://github.com/fperrad/lua-batteries/blob/master/lua/library/md5.pir
2) https://github.com/fperrad/lua-batteries/blob/master/lua/library/random.pir
both in method tostring which display the PMC with its address.
The first one is a wrapper of https://github.com/fperrad/digest-dynpmcs, and this commit fixes it.
The second is a wrapper of https://github.com/fperrad/parrot-MT19937 which is a pure PIR library, and currently, I have no workaround.

The display of an address of a Lua Userdata is very common, for example :

$ lua -e "print(io.stdout)"
