This flag, used in the length slot of hash entries and magic structures,
-specifies the structure contains a C<SV*> pointer where a C<char*> pointer
+specifies the structure contains an C<SV*> pointer where a C<char*> pointer
is to be expected. (For information only--not to be used).

Returns the SV which corresponds to the specified key in the hash. The
C<klen> is the length of the key. If C<lval> is set then the fetch will be
part of a store. Check that the return value is non-null before

+
+For case-insensitiveness, the "casefolding" of Unicode is used
