+The signature of the C<Perl_re_intuit_start()> regex function has changed;
+the function pointer C<intuit> in the regex engine plugin structure
+has also changed accordingly. A new parameter, C<strbeg> has been added;
+this has the same meaning as the same-named parameter in
+C<Perl_regexec_flags>. Previously intuit would try to guess the start of
+the string from the passed SV (if any), and would sometimes get it wrong
+(e.g. with an overloaded SV).
