Thanks, Marvin. A thorough and well-commented post on the subject. And glad that 
you clarified why the make-a-perl-RV-then-free-it step is necessary in the 
initial object creation. I did not know the details of Perl's SV cleanup, and 
can now see quite clearly why storing only the inner SV in C space is necessary.
