Then in that case, I believe the perlguts documentation should be amended so
that the 'XSUBs and the Argument Stack' section does not say:
Now that there is room on the stack, values can be pushed
on it using the macros to push IVs, doubles, strings, and
SV pointers respectively:
PUSHi(IV)
PUSHn(double)
PUSHp(char*, I32)
PUSHs(SV*)
.
.
. etc
As this is clearly misleading. To whom should I submit a patch for the
perlguts documentation? [unless this has been amended in 5.6...]
