/* {heap tuning parameters}

 * These are parameters for controlling memory allocation.  The heap
 * is the area out of which scm_cons, and object headers are allocated.
 *
 * Each heap cell is 8 bytes on a 32 bit machine and 16 bytes on a
 * 64 bit machine.  The units of the _SIZE parameters are bytes.
 * Cons pairs and object headers occupy one heap cell.
 *
 * SCM_MIN_HEAP_SEG_SIZE is minimum size of heap to accept when more heap
 * is needed.
