+Create a new, guaranteed to be unique, GV in the package given by the
+NUL-terminated C language string C<pack>, and return a pointer to it.
+
+For C<newGVgen> or if C<flags> in C<newGVgen_flags> is 0, C<pack> is to be
+considered to be encoded in Latin-1.  The only other legal C<flags> value is
+C<SVf_UTF8>, which indicates C<pack> is to be considered to be encoded in
+UTF-8.
