2 TODO: call/cc broken with or with SCHEME_STACK, also in tinyscheme
3 TODO: fix .atom names
4 TODO: |name|? (TOK_STRATOM)
5 TODO: simpler cell memory management, only one block
6 TODO: proplists broken due to symbol not a pair anymore
7 TODO: UNNAMED_OPs have little reason to be in the opcode table?

9 - major size optimisations
10 - struct layout for both typical CISC and RISC cpus.
11 - optional error messages.
12 - optional error checking.
13 - cell size reduced by not storing both float and int forms of a number,
14 - major dependency optimisations (no stdio etc.)
15 - faster and vastly simpler vector memory management (execution speed
16 is roughly twice faster than tinyscheme when optimised for size, and 2.5
17 times faster when optimised for speed).
18 - no need for consecutive cells
19 - more compact and faster vectors.
20 - resizable vectors (TODO: not exposed yet).
21 - faster environment implementation, not hashed by name but by symbol address.
22 - simpler and faster memory management (no need for sorted free lists).
23 - much faster call stack implementation, fully supporting continuations,
24 while greatly reducing cell thrashing, thus fewer gc's and overall
25 much faster execution.
26 - move caaaar etc. to C, which should effectively save some memory
27 (and should also be faster).
28 - allow full 32 bit size range for strings and vectors, where possible.
29 - made ports optional.
30 - made error checking and error strings optional.
31 - implemented small-integer cache, reducing number of cells allocated.
32 - ripped out features: dynamic loading, nonstandard C targets.
33 - fix numerous ISO C violations (mostly _ namespace).
34 - fix numerous uninitialised value violations.
35 - fix some bufer overflows (mostly relying on _snprintf terminating with 0).
36 - fix numerous sign/truncation problems.
37 - remove limit of 65535 args maximum.
38 - move ~6kb opcode table into read-only segemnt, saves 6kb rss.
39 - reduce ~6kb opcode table to 1.2kb.
40 - symbols use one cell instead of two now.
41 - subnormals are no longer flushed to zero in some comparisons.
42 - scheme fix: gensym does not intern the symbol.
43 - scheme fix: properly support symbol names starting with '.'
44 - scheme improvement: support |identifier| syntax.
45 - new procedure: gensym?
46 - removed unused 1kb linebuf from scheme context.
