/* SCM variables can contain:
 *
 * Non-objects -- meaning that the tag-related macros don't apply to them
 * in the usual way.
 *
 * Immediates -- meaning that the variable contains an entire Scheme object.
 *
 * Non-immediates -- meaning that the variable holds a (possibly
 * tagged) pointer into the cons pair heap.
 *
 * Non-objects are distinguished from other values by careful coding
 * only (i.e., programmers must keep track of any SCM variables they
 * create that don't contain ordinary scheme values).
 *
 * All immediates and pointers to cells of non-immediates have a 0 in
 * bit 0.  All non-immediates that are not pairs have a 1 in bit 0 of
 * the first word of their cell.  This is how pairs are distinguished
 * from other non-immediates; a pair can have a immediate in its car
 * (thus a 0 in bit 0), or a pointer to the cell of a non-immediate
 * (again, this pointer has a 0 in bit 0).
 *
 * Immediates and non-immediates are distinguished by bits 1 and 2.
 * Immediate values must have a 1 in at least one of those bits.
 * Consequently, a pointer to a cell of a non-immediate must have
 * zeros in bits 1 and 2.  Together with the requirement from above
 * that bit 0 must also be zero, this means that pointers to cells of
 * non-immediates must have their three low bits all zero.  This in
 * turn means that cells must be aligned on a 8 byte boundary, which
 * is just right for two 32bit numbers (surprise, surprise).  Does
 * this (or any other detail of tagging) seem arbitrary?  Try changing
 * it!  (Not always impossible but it is fair to say that many details
 * of tags are mutually dependent).  */

/* 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 		... structs (this tag is valid only in the header
 *              of a struct's data, as with all odd tags).
 *
 * 00		heap addresses and many immediates (not integers)
 * 01		structs, some tc7_ codes
 * 10		immediate integers
 * 11		various tc7_ codes including, tc16_ codes.
 *
 *
 * 000		heap address
 * 001		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-byte 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:
 *
 * cons	   ..........SCM car..............0  ...........SCM cdr.............0
 * struct  ..........void * type........001  ...........void * data.........0
 * closure ..........SCM code...........011  ...........SCM env.............0
 * tc7	   ......24.bits of data...0xxxx1S1  ..........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.
 *
 *		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).
