;;; A Storage Base represents a physical storage resource such as a

;;; resources such as the stack are relativized by the environment
;;; that the TN is allocated in. Packing conflict information is kept
;;; in the storage base, but non-packed storage resources such as

;;; Some storage bases:

;;; scratch registers", this doesn't exist at the implementation
;;; level. Such things can be done by specifying storage classes whose
