Associate user-defined magic to variables from Perl
Magic is Perl's way of enhancing variables. This mechanism lets the user
add extra data to any variable and hook syntactical operations (such as
access, assignment or destruction) that can be applied to it. With this
module, you can add your own magic to any variable without having to write
a single line of XS.
You'll realize that these magic variables look a lot like tied variables.
It's not surprising, as tied variables are implemented as a special kind of
magic, just like any 'irregular' Perl variable : scalars like '$!', '$(' or
'$^W', the '%ENV' and '%SIG' hashes, the '@ISA' array, 'vec()' and
'substr()' lvalues, the threads::shared manpage variables... They all share
the same underlying C API, and this module gives you direct access to it.

+ Fix : [RT #101410] : Install fails in blead
Even though the change that caused this error was reverted from
blead, lvalue uses of ERRSV have been removed from this module
so that there will be no breakage when this change is possibly
reintroduced in the following months.
Thanks Dave Rolsky for reporting.
+ Tst : $ENV{$Config{ldlibpthname}} is now preserved on all platforms,
which will address failures of t/17-ctl.t with unusual
compilers (like icc) that link all their compiled objects to
their own libraries.
+ Tst : The global destruction test is now only run on perl 5.13.4 and
higher, and only if either Perl::Destruct::Level is installed
or PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL is set and the perl is a debugging perl.
This will solve rare crashes of t/15-self.t on perl 5.13.3 and
older.

+ Fix : [RT #99319] : t/18-opinfo.t: test failure due to change in
perl 5 blead
The new METHOP op class added in perl 5.21.5 is now supported.
Thanks James E Keenan for reporting.

+ Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_CODE_COPY_CLONE evaluates to true
if your perl calls 'copy' magic when a magical code prototype
is cloned, which is currently the case for perl 5.17.0 and
above.
