+Should cvcache be per CV (keyed by thread) or per thread (keyed by CV)?
+
+Maybe ought to protect all SVs by a mutex for SvREFCNT_{dec,inc},
+upgrades and so on. Then use SvMUTEX instead of CvMUTEX for CVs.
+On the other hand, people shouldn't expect concurrent operations
+on non-lexicals to be safe anyway.
+
+Probably don't need to bother keeping track of CvOWNER on clones.
+
+Either @_ needs to be made lexical or other arrangments need to be
+made so that some globs (or just *_) are per-thread.
+
+tokenbuf and buf probably ought to be global protected by a global lock.
