representation of Scheme types

immediates

the Scheme unitype is encoded as (ref eq) with immediates in (ref i31) and heap objects in $heap-object:

  (type $heap-object (sub (struct (field $hash (mut i32)))))

immediates

all immediates are stored in (ref i31) and thus must fit in 31 bits. the most important immediate, the integer, is indicated by a null low bit.
