The purpose is less machine instructions/faster code.
* S_hv_free_ent_ret() is always called with entry non-null: so change its
signature to reflect this, and remove a null check;
* Add some SvREFCNT_dec_NNs;
* In hv_clear(), refactor the code slightly to only do a SvREFCNT_dec_NN
within the branch where its already been determined that the arg is
non-null; also, use the _nocontext variant of Perl_croak() to save
a push instruction in threaded perls.

prevent failures deep in value dumping from aborting
Sometimes, dumpvar's dumpvalue routine gets a value it can't dump. The
simplest example to contrive is the one in this test: a tied hash that
can't tell you its keys. Until now, this would cause the whole dump to
abort as soon as it failed to dump one part.
With this commit, each stringify or unwind is inside an eval. Failed
stringifications or unwindings are replaced with a placeholder showing
the error.
unwind uses return to stop early, and rather than go through contortions
to wrap the eval in something that can then return 1 to test that eval
worked, I've just asserted that this code requires 5.14.0, which made $@
a much more reliable indicator of failure after eval.

perlre: Fix typo
"<" isn't a metacharacter, therefore "\<" doesn't change its meaning.

Karl Williamson [Sun, 20 Jan 2013 03:29:42 +0000]
Deprecate certain rare uses of backslashes within regexes
There are three pairs of characters that Perl recognizes as
metacharacters in regular expression patterns: {}, [], and (). These
can be used as well to delimit patterns, as in:
m{foo}
s(foo)(bar)
Since they are metacharacters, they have special meaning to regular
expression patterns, and it turns out that you can't turn off that
special meaning by the normal means of preceding them with a backslash,
if you use them, paired, within a pattern delimitted by them. For
example, in
m{foo\{1,3\}}
the backslashes do not change the behavior, and this matches "f", "o"
followed by one to three more occurrences of "o".
Usages like this, where they are interpreted as metacharacters, are
exceedingly rare; we think there are none, for example, in all of CPAN.
Hence, this deprecation should affect very little code. It does give
notice, however, that any such code needs to change, which will in turn
allow us to change the behavior in future Perl versions so that the
backslashes do have an effect, and without fear that we are silently
breaking any existing code.
