/* Here is a summary of tagging in SCM values as they might occur in
 * SCM variables or in the heap.
 *
 * low bits    meaning
 *
 *
 * 0		Most objects except...
 * 1 		...glocs and structs (this tag valid only in a SCM_CAR or
 *		in the header of a struct's data).
 *
 * 00		heap addresses and many immediates (not integers)
 * 01		glocs/structs, some tc7_ codes
 * 10		immediate integers
 * 11		various tc7_ codes including, tc16_ codes.
 *
 *
 * 000		heap address
 * 001		glocs/structs
 * 010		integer
 * 011		closure
 * 100		immediates
 * 101		tc7_
 * 110 		integer
 * 111		tc7_
 *
 *
 * 100 --- IMMEDIATES
 *
 * Looking at the seven final bits of an immediate:
 *
 * 0000-100	short instruction
 * 0001-100	short instruction
 * 0010-100	short instruction
 * 0011-100	short instruction
 * 0100-100	short instruction
 * 0101-100	short instruction
 * 0110-100	various immediates and long instructions
 * 0111-100	short instruction
 * 1000-100	short instruction
 * 1001-100	short instruction
 * 1010-100	short instruction
 * 1011-100	short instruction
 * 1100-100	short instruction
 * 1101-100	short instruction
 * 1110-100	immediate characters
 * 1111-100	ilocs
 *
 * Some of the 0110100 immediates are long instructions (they dispatch
 * in two steps compared to one step for a short instruction).
 * The two steps are, (1) dispatch on 7 bits to the long instruction
 * handler, (2) dispatch on 7 additional bits.
 *
 * One way to think of it is that there are 128 short instructions,
 * with the 13 immediates above being some of the most interesting.
 *
 * Also noteworthy are the groups of 16 7-bit instructions implied by
 * some of the 3-bit tags.   For example, closure references consist
 * of an 8-bit aligned address tagged with 011.  There are 16 identical 7-bit
 * instructions, all ending 011, which are invoked by evaluating closures.
 *
 * In other words, if you hand the evaluator a closure, the evaluator
 * treats the closure as a graph of virtual machine instructions.
 * A closure is a pair with a pointer to the body of the procedure
 * in the CDR and a pointer to the environment of the closure in the CAR.
 * The environment pointer is tagged 011 which implies that the least
 * significant 7 bits of the environment pointer also happen to be
 * a virtual machine instruction we could call "SELF" (for self-evaluating
 * object).
 *
 * A less trivial example are the 16 instructions ending 000.  If those
 * bits tag the CAR of a pair, then evidently the pair is an ordinary
 * cons pair and should be evaluated as a procedure application.  The sixteen,
 * 7-bit 000 instructions are all "NORMAL-APPLY"  (Things get trickier.
 * For example, if the CAR of a procedure application is a symbol, the NORMAL-APPLY
 * instruction will, as a side effect, overwrite that CAR with a new instruction
 * that contains a cached address for the variable named by the symbol.)
 *
 * Here is a summary of tags in the CAR of a non-immediate:
 *
 *   HEAP CELL:	G=gc_mark; 1 during mark, 0 other times.
 *
 * cons	   ..........SCM car..............0  ...........SCM cdr.............G
 * gloc    ..........SCM vcell..........001  ...........SCM cdr.............G
 * struct  ..........void * type........001  ...........void * data.........G
 * closure ..........SCM code...........011  ...........SCM env.............G
 * tc7	   ......24.bits of data...Gxxxx1S1  ..........void *data............
 *
 *
 *
 * 101 & 111 --- tc7_ types
 *
 *		tc7_tags are 7 bit tags ending in 1x1.  These tags
 *		occur only in the CAR of heap cells, and have the
 *		handy property that all bits of the CAR above the
 *		bottom eight can be used to store some data, thus
 *		saving a word in the body itself.  Thus, we use them
 *		for strings and vectors (among other things).
 *
 *		TYP7(X) returns bits 0...6 of CELL_TYPE (X)
 *
 *              Sometimes we choose the bottom seven bits carefully,
 *              so that the 2-valued bit (called S bit) can be masked
 *              off to reveal a common type.
 *
 *		TYP7S(X) returns TYP7, but masking out the option bit S.
 *
 *              For example, all strings have 0010 in the 'xxxx' bits
 *              in the diagram above, the S bit says whether it's a
 *              substring.
 *
 *		for example:
 *						        S
 *			scm_tc7_string    	= G0010101
 *			scm_tc7_substring	= G0010111
 *
 *		TYP7S turns both string tags into tc7_string; thus,
 *		testing TYP7S against tc7_string is a quick way to
 *		test for any kind of string, shared or unshared.
 *
 *		Some TC7 types are subdivided into 256 subtypes giving
 *		rise to the macros:
 *
 *		TYP16
 *		TYP16S
 *
 *		TYP16S functions similarly wrt to TYP16 as TYP7S to TYP7,
 *		but a different option bit is used (bit 2 for TYP7S,
 *		bit 8 for TYP16S).
