   * optimization: scavenging weak pointers is now more efficient,
     requiring O(1) instead of O(N) per weak pointer to identify
     scanvenged vs. unscavenged pointers. (thanks to Paul Khuong)

   * bug fix: SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP was non-atomic unless the compiler
     was able to infer the correct argument type for the object on which
