- /* "deep magic", the comment used to add. The use of MAGIC itself isn't
- really. MAGIC was originally added in 79072805bf63abe5 (perl 5.0 alpha 2)
- to call SvVALID_off() if the scalar was assigned to.
-
- The comment itself (and "deeper magic" below) date back to
- 378cc40b38293ffc (perl 2.0). "deep magic" was an annotation on
- str->str_pok |= 2;
- where the magic (presumably) was that the scalar had a BM table hidden
- inside itself.
-
- As MAGIC is always present on BMs [in Perl 5 :-)], we can use it to store
- the table instead of the previous (somewhat hacky) approach of co-opting
- the string buffer and storing it after the string. */
