feature.h - simplify expression CURRENT_HINTS expression
PL_hints expands to PL_compiling.cop_hints. So there is no
point in doing
PL_curcop == &PL_compiling ? PL_hints : PL_curcop->cop_hints
as it resolves to doing:
PL_curcop->cop_hints
but with a comparison, which likely kills any speed advantage
the direct access might provide.
The old define is left around to validate that the two are the same
if needed.
