-Returns the SV which corresponds to the specified key in the hash.
-See C<hv_fetch>.
-The C<flags> value will normally be zero; if HV_FETCH_WANTPLACEHOLDERS is
-set then placeholders keys (for restricted hashes) will be returned in addition
-to normal keys. By default placeholders are automatically skipped over.
-Currently a placeholder is implemented with a value that is
-C<&Perl_sv_placeholder>. Note that the implementation of placeholders and
-restricted hashes may change.
