Dealing with XS in the short term is fairly trivial. Have a flag on each
XS CV indicating that it knows about a reference-counted stack. In
pp_entersub(), when calling an XS sub that hasn't got that flag (which
initially is all of them), Copy() the sub's args, so that there are two
copies of all the sub's args on the stack - a reference-counted set which
the XS sub doesn't know about, and a second set which aren't
reference-counted, and the XS sub sees. On return, bump the reference
count of the returned args, decrement the reference count of the passed
args, then shuffle the returned args down the stack.

I haven't looked at it yet. Anything involving %^H makes my eyes glaze
over.
