The functions 'Parrot_mmd_get_cached_multi_sig', 'mmd_cvt_to_types' and 'mmd_distance', are only called from 'Parrot_mmd_sort_candidates' (in a chain). Those three monolithic functions need to be broken down into a set of smaller, saner, more maintainable static functions.

See http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=60626 for the history.
