;; Garbage collection "improvement" -- XLISP will GC without allocation
;; as long as it does not run out of cells. This can make it very slow
;; since GC does work proportional to the heap size. If there were
;; always at least, say, 1/3 of the heap free after GC, then allocating
;; cells would be more-or-less a constant time operation (amortized).
;;
;; So, after GC, we'll expand until we have 1/3 of the heap free.

; controlling breaks and tracebacks:
; XLISP and SAL behave differently, so there are four(!) flags:
; *sal-traceback* -- print SAL traceback on error in SAL mode
;                    Typically you want this on always.
; *sal-break* -- allow break (to XLISP prompt) on error when in SAL mode
;                (overrides *sal-traceback*) Typically, you do not want
;                this unless you need to see exactly where an error happened
;                or the bug is in XLISP source code called from SAL.
; *xlisp-break* -- allow break on error when in XLISP mode
;                  Typically, you want this on.
; *xlisp-traceback* -- print XLISP traceback on error in XLISP mode
;                      Typically, you do not want this because the full
;                      stack can be long and tedious. Also allow XLISP
;                      traceback in SAL mode if *sal-break* is true.
