The (void*) coercion explicitly tells the compiler that the memory
named ``proc'' can be referenced in aliasing-unfriendly ways.
The other mechanism is to make ``proc'' be a union of whatever it
currently is with SCM_STACKITEM, so that other references become:

   proc.normal

and this reference becomes (without a cast):

  &proc.stackitem

In this context, ``(uintptr_t)&proc'' seems more appropriate and
less hassle, but it's your call.
