    Any:    A pointer to anything.
    Refco:  Reference counter.
    Fl:     Flags.
    T:      Type.
    PVX:    Pointer value (a pointer to a string).
    CUR:    Length of above string.    
    LEN:    Size of allocated area for string.
    IVX:    Integer value.
    
    For an SvIV, the PVX, CUR and LEN values are unused.
