;; Garbage collection "improvement" -- XLISP will GC without allocation
;; as long as it does not run out of cells. This can make it very slow
;; since GC does work proportional to the heap size. If there were
;; always at least, say, 1/3 of the heap free after GC, then allocating
;; cells would be more-or-less a constant time operation (amortized).
;;
;; So, after GC, we'll expand until we have 1/3 of the heap free.
