/*
 * This macro defines a convenience wrapper around the boilerplate of
 * calling a method on a perl object (SV*) from C.
 *
 * Arguments are
 * * obj    - the SV* to call the method on
 * * meth   - a char* method name
 * * args   - a code block responsible for pushing args (other than the object)
 * * err    - a string with a %s format specifier to log in case of error
 * * fatalp - if true, perl errors terminate barnowl
 * * ret    - a code block executed if the call succeeded
 *
 * See also: `perldoc perlcall', `perldoc perlapi'
