 ** lambda-fusion / "fuse-and-dispatch" (suggested by Alex Shinn)
    convert groups of local lambdas referenced to only in operator-position into
    looping lambda + dispatch (static variable can be used), otherwise similar to
    a conditional
 
-** lazy gensyms (see "lazy-gensyms" branch)
-
 ** handle optional args primitively 
    for example, set to distinguished val (checking argc) on C level, core
    primitive for checking this - should be quite simple, but llist processing
    (decompose-lambda-list) will be more expensive and cumbersome.
 
-** pre-hashed symbols (extra symbol slot)
-   The memory usage should be acceptable, performance gain is hard to guess.
-   Some experiments indicate that hashing the string is cheaper than it appears,
-   but low-level hashtables should get the most of this (and thus speed up
-   the compiler)

 ** The benchmarks are meaningless - find real ones.
