The docs page:
http://docs.parrot.org/parrot/latest/html/src/ops/cmp.ops.html

...mentions 2 overloads for opcode 'not':

```
not(out INT, in INT)
not(out PMC, invar PMC)
```

It would be sweet to have another overload for opcode 'not'.

```
not(out INT, invar PMC)
```

This would avoid the need for boxing of the operands in many cases.
