Excuse my ignorance. The notes in tag.h indicate that the least significant
bit of the 2nd word of a cell is used for marking. I was reading gc.h and it
appears the mark bits are stored separately. On the other hand, I looked
at a copy of guile from before your changes and it might also have used separate
mark bitvectors.
So is that lsb of the second word of a cell actually free for some other use besides
marking?
