In docs/memory_internals.pod there is a XXX item: > Copying GC uses a C<Buffer_Tail> after the end of the actual variable length > string and marks such COW strings with C<TAIL_moved> and stores the new address > in the buffer header, so other users of this string can be updated to reuse the > same string (XXX one or all other users?). I have no idea whether this has been decided and implemented yet. This issue was also mentioned in docs/ROADMAP.pod
