That's the current behavior, i was unclear but I meant that

That an additional level of indirection, that is every referrant of
an RV pointing to a subroutine,
This is what i propose:
compiling of a sub will create a sub prototype, with no exposed
perl space value
CVs become a small node, with typical SVish things, like a
blessed class, ref count, etc, and for closures they can also
refer to captured variables, I guess
