This patch won’t apply without the one for bug #77362 applied first.

If the patch for bug #77496 is not applied first, too, this one will cause test failures, as it triggers that bug.

This modifies a test in t/op/tie_fetch_count.t, which currently relies on this bug. *{} is another one of those operators that can return its operand, like || and &&.

[perl #77498] Assignment ignores magick when the RHS holds a glob

This also modifies a test in t/op/tie_fetch_count.t, which was rely-
ing on this bug. See bug #76814 for details.

Applied as 5cf4b25 with modifications​: tie_fetch_count.t no
longer needs adjustment. pp_rv2gv needs to call sv_setsv_flags without
SV_GMAGIC (it was exploiting this bug).
