;;;; Data representations

; This implementation of the data representations is particularly
; tuned for byte-addressable machines with 4 bytes per word.
; Good representations for other kinds of machines would necessarily
; look quite different; e.g. on a word-addressed machine you might
; want to put tag bits in the high end of a word, or even go to some
; kind of BIBOP system.

; Descriptors
;  A descriptor describes a Scheme object.
;  A descriptor is represented as an integer whose low two bits are
;  tag bits.  The high bits contain information whose format and
;  meaning are dependent on the tag.

; (pointer into memory).
; The header and immediate tags could be multiplexed, thus freeing up
; one of the 4 type codes for some other purpose, but the
; implementation is simpler if they're not.
