+ *
+ * 0 Most objects except...
+ * 1 ...glocs and structs (this tag valid only in a SCM_CAR or

+ *
+ * 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 .........long length....GxxxD1S1 ..........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.
+ *
+ * SCM_LENGTH returns the bits in "length" (see the diagram).
+ * SCM_CHARS returns the data cast to "char *"
+ * SCM_CDR returns the data cast to "SCM"
+ * TYP7(X) returns bits 0...6 of SCM_CAR (X)
+ *
+ * For the interpretation of SCM_LENGTH and SCM_CHARS
+ * that applies to a particular type, see the header file
+ * for that type.
+ *
+ * TYP7S(X) returns TYP7, but masking out the option bit S.
+ * TYP7D(X) returns TYP7, but masking out the option bit D.
+ * TYP7SD(X) masks out both option bits.
+ *
+ * for example:
+ * D S
+ * scm_tc7_string = Gxxx0101
+ * scm_tc7_mb_string = Gxxx0111
+ * scm_tc7_substring = Gxxx1101
+ * scm_tc7_mb_substring = Gxxx1111
+ *
+ * TYP7S turns tc7_mb_string into tc7_string and
+ * tc7_mb_substring into tc7_substring.
+ *
+ * TYP7D turns tc7_mb_substring into tc7_mb_string and
+ * tc7_substring into tc7_string.
+ *
+ * TYP7DS turns all string tags into tc7_string.
+ *
+ * Some TC7 types are subdivided into 256 subtypes giving
+ * rise to the macros:
+ *
+ * TYP16
+ * TYP16S
+ * GCTYP16
+ *
+ * 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).
