- * Bodyless IVs and NVs!
- *
- * Since 5.9.2, we can avoid allocating a body for SVt_IV-type SVs.
- * Since the larger IV-holding variants of SVs store their integer
- * values in their respective bodies, the family of SvIV() accessor
- * macros would  naively have to branch on the SV type to find the
- * integer value either in the HEAD or BODY. In order to avoid this
- * expensive branch, a clever soul has deployed a great hack:
- * We set up the SvANY pointer such that instead of pointing to a
- * real body, it points into the memory before the location of the
- * head. We compute this pointer such that the location of
- * the integer member of the hypothetical body struct happens to
- * be the same as the location of the integer member of the bodyless
- * SV head. This now means that the SvIV() family of accessors can
- * always read from the (hypothetical or real) body via SvANY.
- *
- * Since the 5.21 dev series, we employ the same trick for NVs
- * if the architecture can support it (NVSIZE <= IVSIZE).
