Thanks,

I just added a mantis issue for this:

Eliot, can you give me a quick pointer to the primitives in Cog that need
to be added to the interpreter VM? Thanks.

A terminology note, this issue is for the interpreter VM. The stack VM is
part of Cog, and I expect that a stack VM will already contain the necessary
primitives (though I did not check).
