extern int scm_symhash_dim;

/* SCM_LENGTH(SYM) is the length of SYM's name in characters, and
   SCM_CHARS(SYM) is the address of the first character of SYM's name.

   Beyond that, there are two kinds of symbols: ssymbols and msymbols,
   distinguished by the 'S' bit in the type.

   Ssymbols are just uniquified strings.  They have a length, chars,
   and that's it.  They use the scm_tc7_ssymbol tag (S bit clear).

   Msymbols are symbols with extra slots.  These slots hold a property
   list and a function value (for Emacs Lisp compatibility), and a hash
   code.  They use the scm_tc7_msymbol tag.

   We'd like SCM_CHARS to work on msymbols just as it does on
   ssymbols, so we'll have it point to the symbol's name as usual, and
   store a pointer to the slots just before the name in memory.  Thus,
   you have to do some casting and pointer arithmetic to find the
   slots; see the SCM_SLOTS macro.

   In practice, the slots always live just before the pointer to them.
   So why not ditch the pointer, and use negative indices to refer to
   the slots?  That's a good question; ask the author.  I think it was
   the cognac.  */
