Ohright, yes; I meant to explain that bit.

Right now one of my branches has:

+/* BIG TODO: This has false positives (SVt_INVLIST)
+ */
+#define SvTYPE_IS_SCALAR(sv)    ((SvTYPE(sv) <= SVt_PVMG) || (SvTYPE(sv) == SVt_PVLV))

So it's just that I wanted a simpler comparison in the body of that
macro.
