Prior to this lexical attributes were done at a compile time, and they would loose their attribute on the next run over them. Now perl 5.8 calls the attribute handler runtime whenever it hits my. - [#14448] Fixes cases with too high refcounts on lexical attributes - [#15945] Do not warn about too late CHECK and INIT block if A::H is pulled in using a require.
