Although abc is old, it's simple and a reasonable thing to expect new people to PCT to look at. There are currently 6 failing tests:

* All tests involving `pow` fail with `error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected NREG, expecting '(' ('$N102')`. This appears to be because there is no `pow` opcode anymore. This should be replaced with a runtime function.

* One test fails because the variable `abc` gets aliased to the variable `last` somehow. Solving this one involves digging deeper into the PAST and PIR generated by the language.
