Description : module for opaque, extensible XS pointer backed objects using sv_magic
XS::Object::Magic provides a way of associating structs with Perl space
objects designed to supercede Perl's builtin "T_PTROBJ" with something that
is designed to be:
* extensible: The association of the pointer using "sv_magicext" can be
done on any data type, so you can associate C structs with any
representation type. This means that you can add pointers to any object
(hand coded, Moose or otherwise), while still having instance data in
regular hashes.
* opaque: The C pointer is neither visible nor modifiable from Perl space.
This prevents accidental corruption which could lead to segfaults using
"T_PTROBJ" (e.g. "$$ptr_obj = 0").
