This is currently being discussed on p5p, so you might want to take it over
there.

Not yet. This looks like something that we can fix. What I'll try and do,
although I make no promises, is make sure that either Tim or I [1] finds out
all about magic, writes up some documentation and pushes some of it back to
perlguts.pod, since it looks like there is definitely a crying need for people
to understand this.

Yup!
[1] Tim Jenness has written a section about magic in a book we're writing on
Perl and C interaction. However, what we've got at the moment isn't much more
than what's in perlguts.
