This is a bug report for perl from ruz@bestpractical.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.16.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

5.18 released want to get things rolling on this change.

SV_CONST macro. Goal is to use existing optimizations in
pp_method_named for TIESCALAR, FETCH, POP and friends by using
precomputed hash values of these constant strings. You can find
more details on this miniproject in earlier thread [1].

Code is on github [2], just repushed the branch. Full diff [3].
