correspond in the obvious way to the underlying C structures of similar names.
The inheritance hierarchy mimics the underlying C "inheritance". For the

-For 5.11.0 and later, B::RV is abolished, and IVs can be used to store

For 5.9.0 and earlier, PVLV is a direct subclass of PVMG, and BM is still
present as a distinct type, so the base of this diagram is

Access methods correspond to the underlying C macros for field access,
usually with the leading "class indication" prefix removed (Sv, Av,
