/*
  femtoLisp

  a compact interpreter for a minimal lisp/scheme dialect

  characteristics:
  * lexical scope, lisp-1
  * unrestricted macros
  * data types: 30-bit integer, symbol, pair, vector, char, string, table
      iostream, procedure, low-level data types
  * case-sensitive
  * simple compacting copying garbage collector
  * Scheme-style varargs (dotted formal argument lists)
  * "human-readable" bytecode with self-hosted compiler

  extra features:
  * circular structure can be printed and read
  * #. read macro for eval-when-read and readably printing builtins
  * read macros for backquote
  * symbol character-escaping printer
  * exceptions
  * gensyms (can be usefully read back in, too)
  * #| multiline comments |#, lots of other lexical syntax
  * generic compare function, cyclic equal
  * cvalues system providing C data types and a C FFI
  * constructor notation for nicely printing arbitrary values
