It's not merely a question of ambiguous vs exact references. It's also a
question of hashing.
For example, the Emacs Lisp internals hash references with low-level
functions like sxhash_eq's call to XHASH, to implement functions like
make-hash-table. If exact references are moved, hashing them won't work
because their XHASH values will change. Does the MPS branch use exact
references for any Lisp object visible to the Elisp programmer? If so,
won't there be subtle bugs with make-hash-table and the like? Or does
the MPS branch work around this issue by rebuilding every hash table
after a GC?
Also, does the MPS branch have similar workarounds for every other place
the C code uses XHASH, XLI, XPNTR, etc.? For example, suppose GC occurs
during sort_overlays, so that compare_overlays (which uses XLI) is no
longer a total ordering, which means qsort has undefined behavior?
