   objects are always held permanently in special lists, and deleted
   objects are never on these lists and never reusable).  To handle
   this, we just have cleanup_specifiers() called periodically
   (at the beginning of garbage collection); it removes all dead
   objects.

   For windows, however, it's trickier because dead objects can be
   converted to live ones again if the dead object is in a window
   configuration.  Therefore, for windows, "no longer in use"
   corresponds to when the window object is garbage-collected.

Return a new specifier object of type TYPE.

A specifier is an object that can be used to keep track of a property
whose value can be per-buffer, per-window, per-frame, or per-device,
and can further be restricted to a particular console-type or
device-class.  Specifiers are used, for example, for the various
built-in properties of a face; this allows a face to have different
values in different frames, buffers, etc.

When speaking of the value of a specifier, it is important to
distinguish between the *setting* of a specifier, called an
\"instantiator\", and the *actual value*, called an \"instance\".  You
put various possible instantiators (i.e. settings) into a specifier
and associate them with particular locales (buffer, window, frame,
device, global), and then the instance (i.e. actual value) is
retrieved in a specific domain (window, frame, device) by looking
through the possible instantiators (i.e. settings).  This process is
called \"instantiation\".

To put settings into a specifier, use `set-specifier', or the
lower-level functions `add-spec-to-specifier' and
`add-spec-list-to-specifier'.  You can also temporarily bind a setting
to a specifier using `let-specifier'.  To retrieve settings, use
`specifier-specs', or its lower-level counterpart
`specifier-spec-list'.  To determine the actual value, use
`specifier-instance'.

For more information, see `set-specifier', `specifier-instance',
`specifier-specs', and `add-spec-to-specifier'; or, for a detailed
description of specifiers, including how exactly the instantiation
process works, see the chapter on specifiers in the XEmacs Lisp
Reference Manual.

TYPE specifies the particular type of specifier, and should be one of
the symbols 'generic, 'integer, 'natnum, 'boolean, 'color, 'font,
'image, 'face-boolean, 'display-table, 'gutter, 'gutter-size,
'gutter-visible or 'toolbar.

For more information on particular types of specifiers, see the
functions `make-generic-specifier', `make-integer-specifier',
`make-natnum-specifier', `make-boolean-specifier',
`make-color-specifier', `make-font-specifier', `make-image-specifier',
`make-face-boolean-specifier', `make-gutter-size-specifier',
`make-gutter-visible-specifier', `default-toolbar', `default-gutter',

Return non-nil if TAG-SET is a valid specifier tag set.

A specifier tag set is an entity that is attached to an instantiator
and can be used to restrict the scope of that instantiator to a
particular device class or device type and/or to mark instantiators
added by a particular package so that they can be later removed.

A specifier tag set consists of a list of zero of more specifier tags,
each of which is a symbol that is recognized by XEmacs as a tag.
\(The valid device types and device classes are always tags, as are
any tags defined by `define-specifier-tag'.) It is called a "tag set"
\(as opposed to a list) because the order of the tags or the number of
times a particular tag occurs does not matter.

Each tag has a predicate associated with it, which specifies whether
that tag applies to a particular device.  The tags which are device types
and classes match devices of that type or class.  User-defined tags can
have any predicate, or none (meaning that all devices match).  When
attempting to instance a specifier, a particular instantiator is only
considered if the device of the domain being instanced over matches
all tags in the tag set attached to that instantiator.

Most of the time, a tag set is not specified, and the instantiator
gets a null tag set, which matches all devices.

Instantiate SPECIFIER (return its value) in DOMAIN.
If no instance can be generated for this domain, return DEFAULT.

DOMAIN should be a window, frame, or device.  Other values that are legal
as a locale (e.g. a buffer) are not valid as a domain because they do not
provide enough information to identify a particular device (see
`valid-specifier-domain-p').  DOMAIN defaults to the selected window
if omitted.

"Instantiating" a specifier in a particular domain means determining
the specifier's "value" in that domain.  This is accomplished by
searching through the specifications in the specifier that correspond
to all locales that can be derived from the given domain, from specific
to general.  In most cases, the domain is an Emacs window.  In that case
specifications are searched for as follows:

1. A specification whose locale is the window itself;
2. A specification whose locale is the window's buffer;
3. A specification whose locale is the window's frame;
4. A specification whose locale is the window's frame's device;
5. A specification whose locale is 'global.

If all of those fail, then the C-code-provided fallback value for
this specifier is consulted (see `specifier-fallback').  If it is
an inst-list, then this function attempts to instantiate that list
just as when a specification is located in the first five steps above.
If the fallback is a specifier, `specifier-instance' is called
recursively on this specifier and the return value used.  Note,
however, that if the optional argument NO-FALLBACK is non-nil,
the fallback value will not be consulted.

Note that there may be more than one specification matching a particular
locale; all such specifications are considered before looking for any
specifications for more general locales.  Any particular specification
that is found may be rejected because its tag set does not match the
device being instantiated over, or because the specification is not
valid for the device of the given domain (e.g. the font or color name
does not exist for this particular X server).

The returned value is dependent on the type of specifier.  For example,
for a font specifier (as returned by the `face-font' function), the returned
value will be a font-instance object.  For glyphs, the returned value
will be a string, pixmap, or subwindow.

The definition of "match", and allowed values for MATCHSPEC, are
dependent on the particular type of specifier.  Here are some examples:

-- For chartable (e.g. display table) specifiers, MATCHSPEC should be a
   character, and the specification (a chartable) must give a value for
   that character in order to be considered.  This allows you to specify,
   e.g., a buffer-local display table that only gives values for particular
   characters.  All other characters are handled as if the buffer-local
   display table is not there. (Chartable specifiers are not yet
   implemented.)

-- For font specifiers, MATCHSPEC should be a charset, and the specification
   (a font string) must have a registry that matches the charset's registry.
   (This only makes sense with Mule support.) This makes it easy to choose a
   font that can display a particular character. (This is what redisplay
