Consider Perl_hv_fetch (or much of hv.c), which does:

    register XPVHV* xhv;
    ...
    xhv = (XPVHV*)SvANY(hv);

    ... use of xhv->xhv_* ...

In such cases (purely for reasons of grep friendliness), why not use
HvFOO(hv) instead? Are there compilers which don't optimise repeated
uses of the Hv* macros away?
