/* Class redefinition protocol:

   A class is represented by a heap header h1 which points to a
   malloc:ed memory block m1.

   When a new version of a class is created, a new header h2 and
   memory block m2 are allocated.  The headers h1 and h2 then switch
   pointers so that h1 refers to m2 and h2 to m1.  In this way, names
   bound to h1 will point to the new class at the same time as h2 will
   be a handle which the GC will use to free m1.

   The `redefined' slot of m1 will be set to point to h1.  An old
   instance will have its class pointer (the CAR of the heap header)
   pointing to m1.  The non-immediate `redefined'-slot in m1 indicates
   the class modification and the new class pointer can be found via
   h1.
