This description has been a little faulty for quite some time, not
just because of the last few commits. Any time pad_free or pad_swipe
is called, that pad slot becomes available and PL_padix is reset.
So ‘max used’ is not accurate.
PERLVAR(I, min_intro_pending, I32) /* start of vars to introduce */
PERLVAR(I, max_intro_pending, I32) /* end of vars to introduce */
-PERLVAR(I, padix, I32) /* max used index in current "register" pad */
+PERLVAR(I, padix, I32) /* lowest unused index - 1
+ in current "register" pad */
PERLVAR(I, padix_floor, I32) /* how low may inner block reset padix */
