I would expect the following code to print out 'a' twice, once for each type.
This patch solves the ticket. But I'm not sure how "kosher" is it.

```
.sub main
sortme('ResizablePMCArray')

$P1 = get_class 'ResizablePMCArray'
$P0 = subclass $P1, 'RPA'

sortme('RPA')

.end

.sub sortme
.param string type
$P0 = new type
$P0[0]='z'
$P0[1]='a'
.local pmc comparator
comparator = get_global 'ascii'
$P0.'sort'(comparator)
$S0 = $P0[0]
say $S0
.end

.sub ascii
.param string a
.param string b
$I0 = cmp_str a,b
.return($I0)
.end
```

Instead, it generates:

```
a
Method 'sort' not found for invocant of class 'RPA'
current instr.: 'sortme' pc 53 (foo.pir:21)
called from Sub 'main' pc 25 (foo.pir:10)
```

sort is a method on FixedPMCArray; it's inherited by esizablePMCArray. It is apparently then NOT inherited by my PIR level subclass.
