I am reporting this in stead of a friend of mine who embedded perl in his
own application and stumbled upon a small issue​:

hey, here's a little bug I ran into while trying to embed perl with
PERL_NO_SHORT_NAMES​:
1. SvPV() doesn't work because it expands to short names.
2. I can't seem to find a long-name equivalent.
3. shouldn't SvPV() be considered a short name in the first place?

According to the libperl file he used, this is with Perl 5.16.1.

Hmmm, a quick glance at sv.h indcates that a whole bunch of stuff is
broken with PERL_NO_SHORT_NAMES, not just SvPV(). Could be quite an effort
to audit all such macros.
