 In spite of their generic names, these are very specialized functions mainly
 for use when cloning an interpreter instance.  You are probably looking for

-new SV under C<sv_dup> has a reference count of 0, but 1 under C<sv_dup_inc>.
-Only specialized cases will want a zero reference count, almost certainly only

+The difference is that the new SV under C<sv_dup> will not have its reference count incremented

 C<param> has type S<C<CLONE_PARAMS *>>.  This is mostly for internal core use
 when duplicating something more complicated than an SV (code in common is
