+ * function to return a pointer to the next op to be executed, or null if
+ * it's the end of the sub or program or whatever.
+ *
+ * There is a similar loop in dump.c, Perl_runops_debug(), which does
+ * the same, but also checks for various debug flags each time round the
+ * loop.

+ * Why this function requires a file all of its own is anybody's guess.
