/*
  femtoLisp

  a minimal interpreter for a minimal lisp dialect

  this lisp dialect uses lexical scope and self-evaluating lambda.
  it supports 30-bit integers, symbols, conses, and full macros.
  it is case-sensitive.
  it features a simple compacting copying garbage collector.
  it uses a Scheme-style evaluation rule where any expression may appear in
    head position as long as it evaluates to a function.
  it uses Scheme-style varargs (dotted formal argument lists)
  lambdas can have only 1 body expression; use (progn ...) for multiple
    expressions. this is due to the closure representation
    (lambda args body . env)
