Description

The Perl bindings presently use too much code to convert Perl-space arguments
to C-space variables. We can improve matters by refactoring
XSBind_allot_params() so that it assigns to C-space variables directly instead
of parceling out Perl scalars for the caller to extract from, yielding both
diminished visual clutter in the generated C code and a reduction in the size
of the compiled object code.
