Description: This module works around two historical bugs in Perl's handling of
the %^H (lexical hints) variable. One bug causes lexical state in one file to
leak into another that is required/used from it. This bug, [perl #68590], was
present from Perl 5.6 up to Perl 5.10, fixed in Perl 5.11.0. The second bug
causes lexical state (normally a blank %^H once the first bug is fixed) to leak
outwards from utf8.pm, if it is automatically loaded during Unicode regular
_expression_ matching, into whatever source is compiling at the time of the
regexp match. This bug, [perl #73174], was present from Perl 5.8.7 up to Perl
5.11.5, fixed in Perl 5.12.0.
