TODO for B::C
  see github issues https://github.com/rurban/perl-compiler/issues/
  Most of them have either easy workarounds or are not fixable.

  - attribute handlers (i.e. run-time attributes)
  - smartmatch subrefs
  - compile-time stash-magic delete renames to ANON
  - p5p Carp >= 1.42 die recursion

Fix CC
  several other issues detected (and mostly fixed) by Heinz Knutzen
  minimize pad copies from local to pad
  label not defined (utf8::SWASHNEW)
  -faelem is fast but still a bit unstable

DONE
----
fixed with 1.48:
  bytecode compiler for >=5.18
  C/CC walker, dumping all external, non compiler added packages properly
    and detecting required compiler added packages also.
  RTLD_NOLOAD on BSD for run-time remapping of .so syms
  Moose XS init

fixed with 1.47:
  run-time remapping of .so syms with special support by Encode-2.58
  fix %INC cleanup
  non-const %warnings::Bits with -O3
  lexical subs threaded
  Coro
  some readonly related problems: re-eval, hashes
  byteloader binmode for 5.18
  mro and maybe::next

fixed with 1.46:
  global destruction of our and global objects
  utf8 qr and utf8 /i initialization with -fppaddr
  @-
  lexical warnings on 5.8
  -O4 CvSTART cops
  mro: c3 and maybe|next:: method calls
  Encode dlsym patching of compile-time XS handles (Net::DNS, IO::Socket::SSL)
  $/, $@ and $\, esp. when localized
  dump all used @ISA's
  GvFORM pseudo CVs (B::FM) on 5.10
  __DATA__ blocks in packages without printing wrong warnings
  Replace each %hash with foreach sort keys (no random misses of functions)

fixed with 1.44:
  SvLEN and PV ptr for empty shared hash keys
  cop_hints to support lexical numeric hints pragmas (use bytes, use open, ...)
  -O3 with ~ and ~~ formatstrings
  skip saving a cv on defined(&cv)
  format STDOUT/STDERR
  Save empty bodyless subs if they exist, for signal handlers, prototypes declarations
    and cvrefs
  PVMG PV overwriting the RV, overload sub

fixed with 1.43:
  static strings and heks with LEN=0
  restore of many more dynamic magic variables: @+,@-,$$,${^UNICODE} ${^UTF8LOCALE}
   $; $\ $, $/ $" $| $^A $^L $: $% $- $= $^H $^R
  and allow other GP entries for ENV, ARGV, ...
  do not set newGP for symbols, thus do not disturb pre-initialization, esp. XS CVs
  do not boot internal core XS packages twice
  better load-order for dynaloaded modules, which helps esp. on windows
  improved deeper walker, detect more missing empty packages
  HvAUX init without magic (iterators)
  new PADLIST type
  unicode and binary strings and heks
  COW support
  proper len of QR refs
  stash symtab magic for PMf_ONCE m?? and reset
  lexwarns
  (See Changes for all fixes)

fixed with 1.42:
  my_share_hek (global destruction)
  Turn off CvDYNFILE
  save @ISA of empty child classes

fixed with 1.40:
  static PerlIO Layers
  synced %INC
  defer eval section after dl_init

fixed with 1.39:
  improved eval AUTOLOAD

fixed with 1.37:
  fixed wrong test 46, test for Exporter STASH in *main:: STASH
  copy-on-grow with LEN=0 and FAKE clash with share_hek
  share_hek re-implemented
  init of READONLY hash keys
  re-hash everything at startup (oCERT-2011-003)
  find UNIVERSAL methods, load SelectSaver with IO
  hv_clear_placeholders
  %+, %-, %!
  %SIG
  magic->PTR when SV (>5.6)
  attributes::reftype
  inc_cleanup (partially)
