   * optimization: REPLACE on declared (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) vectors, as well
     as other specialized array types, is much faster.  SUBSEQ and
     COPY-SEQ on such arrays have also been sped up.
+  * fixed bug: the runtime is now less vulnerable to changes in the

   * fixed bug: finalizers are now thread-safe. (thanks to Gabor Mellis)
