+Initialization of stack-allocated arrays is inefficient: we always
+fill the vector with zeroes, even when it is not needed (as for

+a. Accessing raw slots in structure instances is more inefficient than
+it could be; if we placed raw slots before the header word, we would
+not need to do arithmetic at runtime to access them.  (But beware:
+this would complicate handling of the interior pointer).
