+        Log: Removes the code that is supposed to restore magic on leaving the
+             localization of an array or a hash. This fixes some memory leaks.
+             Basically we were overwriting the magic of the outer value (value
+             from the outer scope) by the magic of the inner value (therefore making
+             that outer magic leaking in memory). But that inner magic was created
+             by mg_localize() by copying *some* of the outer magic. Consequently the
+             outer value already has that magic. So just keep it and don't bother.
+             
+             That change might introduce obscure bugs. On the other hand, it might
+             also cure obscure bugs, related to the inner value acquiring container
+             magic during its lifetime, or to the outer value loosing non-container
+             magic. No test in the test suite seems to test that.
