+;;; Used as the CDR of the code coverage instrumentation records
+;;; (instead of NIL) to ensure that any well-behaving user code will
+;;; not have constants EQUAL to that record. This avoids problems with
+;;; the records getting coalesced with non-record conses, which then
+;;; get mutated when the instrumentation runs. Note that it's
+;;; important for multiple records for the same location to be
+;;; coalesced. -- JES, 2008-01-02
