a new newSV macro around sv_usepvn?

something like that? Notice s/const char *s/char *s/ as sv_usepvn accepts 
'char */.

/*
=for apidoc newSVpvn_nocopy

Creates a new SV without copying a string into it.  The reference
count for the SV is set to 1. Make sure to read the sv_usepvn entry,
which is used by this function.

=cut
*/

SV *
Perl_newSVpvn_nocopy(pTHX_ char *s, STRLEN len)
{
     register SV *sv;

     new_SV(sv);
     sv_usepvn(sv,s,len);
     return sv;
}
