For integral Lisp types, i.e. integers and characters, the value
- bits are the Lisp object.
+ bits are the Lisp object. Some people call such Lisp_Objects "immediate".
- The object is obtained by masking off the type and mark bits.
- Bit 1 is used as a value bit by splitting the Lisp integer type
- into two subtypes, Lisp_Type_Int_Even and Lisp_Type_Int_Odd. By
- this trickery we get 31 bits for integers instead of 30.
+ The object is obtained by masking off the type bits.

For non-integral types, the value bits of a Lisp_Object contain
a pointer to a structure containing the object. The pointer is
obtained by masking off the type and mark bits.
- All pointer-based types are coalesced under a single type called
- Lisp_Type_Record. The type bits for this type are required
- by the implementation to be 00, just like the least
- significant bits of word-aligned struct pointers on 32-bit
- hardware. Because of this, Lisp_Object pointers don't have
- to be masked and are full-sized.

+ all structs implementing Lisp_Objects have an alignment of at least 4
+ bytes. Because of this, Lisp_Object pointers don't have to be masked
+ and are full-sized.
- There are no mark bits.
- Integers and characters don't need to be marked. All other types
- are lrecord-based, which means they get marked by incrementing
- their ->implementation pointer.
+ There are no mark bits in the Lisp_Object itself (there used to be).

+ lrecord-based, which means they get marked by setting the mark bit in
+ the struct lrecord_header.
Here is a brief description of the following macros:
XCHARVAL The value bits of a Lisp_Object storing a Emchar
XREALINT The value bits of a Lisp_Object storing an integer, signed
XUINT The value bits of a Lisp_Object storing an integer, unsigned
- INTP Non-zero if this Lisp_Object an integer?
+ INTP Non-zero if this Lisp_Object is an integer
Qzero Lisp Integer 0
- EQ Non-zero if two Lisp_Objects are identical */
+ EQ Non-zero if two Lisp_Objects are identical, not merely equal. */
