+The derived type of (/ (THE (DOUBLE-FLOAT (0D0)) X) (THE (DOUBLE-FLOAT

+Type tests for (ARRAY BIT), (ARRAY T) and similar go through full
+%TYPEP, even though it is relatively simple to establish the arrayness
+of an object and also to obtain the element type of an array.  As of
+sbcl-0.8.12.30, this affects at least DUMP-OBJECT through
+COMPOUND-OBJECT-P, and (LABELS MAYBE-EMIT-MAKE-LOAD-FORMS GROVEL)
+through TYPEP UNBOXED-ARRAY, within the compiler itself.
