I'm not Dan, but Encode.xs being blob 3416df70fa9fd640 looks right to me :>

Does anybody here have suggestions on how to go about adding
leak tests to packages like Encode?

I see XS::APItest exists and exposes PL_sv_count; but I guess
it's only for Perl internals and not for stuff imported from CPAN?

It'd be nice to have regression testing guard against
introducing leaks for other core modules, too.  Thanks.
