Detailed Description

A muse cell is a union of all the possible cell types.

In many lisp systems the cell data itself encodes the type of the contents. In muSE, only the cell reference encodes the cell's content type. A cell reference of type muse_cell is a 32-bit integer whose least 3-bits encode the cell type and the higher bits encode the index to the cell within the heap.

In a 32-bit build, muse_cell_data will be 64-bits in size. In a 64-bit, it'll be 128-bits in size.
