Typeglobs and Symbol tables
Symbol table like %main:: is a hash
Values in hash are GVs -- type[G]lob values
See
this example of a GV
Globs have get and set magic for glob aliasing and stringification
GV knows which stash it belongs to
GP holds the symbol table entry, so multiple GVs can point to same GP
GP flags currently unused
