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?
8 TODO: (list->vector (string->list (string-copy "abc"))) fails miserably when repeated
9 TODO: (vector-append #(1 2)) same

11 - major size optimisations
12 - struct layout for both typical CISC and RISC cpus.
13 - optional error messages.
14 - optional error checking.
15 - cell size reduced by not storing both float and int forms of a number,
16 - major dependency optimisations (no stdio etc.)
17 - faster and vastly simpler vector memory management (execution speed
18 is roughly twice faster than tinyscheme when optimised for size, and 2.5
19 times faster when optimised for speed).
20 - no need for consecutive cells
21 - more compact and faster vectors.
22 - resizable vectors (TODO: not exposed yet).
23 - faster environment implementation, not hashed by name but by symbol address.
24 - simpler and faster memory management (no need for sorted free lists).
25 - much faster call stack implementation, fully supporting continuations,
26 while greatly reducing cell thrashing, thus fewer gc's and overall
27 much faster execution.
28 - move caaaar etc. to C, which should effectively save some memory
29 (and should also be faster).
30 - allow full 32 bit size range for strings and vectors, where possible.
31 - made ports optional.
32 - made error checking and error strings optional.
33 - implemented small-integer cache, reducing number of cells allocated.
34 - ripped out features: dynamic loading, nonstandard C targets.
35 - fix numerous ISO C violations (mostly _ namespace).
36 - fix numerous uninitialised value violations.
37 - fix some bufer overflows (mostly relying on _snprintf terminating with 0).
38 - fix numerous sign/truncation problems.
39 - remove limit of 65535 args maximum.
40 - move ~6kb opcode table into read-only segemnt, saves 6kb rss.
41 - reduce ~6kb opcode table to 1.2kb.
42 - symbols use one cell instead of two now.
43 - subnormals are no longer flushed to zero in some comparisons.
44 - new procedure: gensym?
45 - scheme fix: gensym does not intern the symbol.
46 - scheme fix: properly support symbol names starting with '.'
47 - scheme improvement: support |identifier| syntax.
48 - many R7RS procedures have been added.
49 - R7RS multiline string (\whitespace) string parsing.
50 - removed unused 1kb linebuf from scheme context.
51 - abstract cell pointer types, to quickly experiment with different
52 representations.
53 - use c99 rounding functions.
