/* eval environments
 *
 * A module's source code refers to definitions imported from other modules,
 * and definitions made within itself.  An eval environment combines two
 * environments -- a local environment and an imported environment -- to
 * produce a new environment in which both sorts of references can be
 * resolved.
 *
 * Implementation:  The obarray of the eval environment is used to cache
 * entries from the local and imported environments such that in most of the
 * cases only a single lookup is necessary.  Since for neither the local nor
 * the imported environment it is known, what kind of environment they form,
 * the most general case is assumed.  Therefore, entries in the obarray take
 * one of the following forms:
 *
 * 1) (<symbol> location mutability . source-env), where mutability indicates
 *    one of the following states:  IMMUTABLE if the location is known to be
 *    immutable, MUTABLE if the location is known to be mutable, UNKNOWN if
 *    the location has only been requested for non modifying accesses.
 *
 * 2) (symbol . source-env) if the symbol has a binding in the source-env, but
 *    if the source-env can't provide a cell for the binding.  Thus, for every
 *    access, the source-env has to be contacted directly.
