Does anybody know offhand what value magic means and what this code
in mg_set:

        if (PL_localizing == 2
            && PERL_MAGIC_TYPE_IS_VALUE_MAGIC(mg->mg_type))
            continue;

and this code in mg_localize:

        if (PERL_MAGIC_TYPE_IS_VALUE_MAGIC(mg->mg_type))
            continue;

do?  (So I don't have to read the code and figure it out. :-)
