;;; FIXME: It's clever using :SUFFIX -TYPE for these things, but it's
;;; a pain for people just learning to find their way around the code
;;; who want to use lexical search to figure out where things like
;;; EVEN-FIXNUM-LOWTAG are defined. Remove the :SUFFIXes and just expand
;;; out the full names. Or even define them in DEF-FROB EVEN-FIXNUM-LOWTAG
;;; style so searches like 'def.*even-fixnum-lowtag' can find them.

;;; tags for the main low-level types, to be stored in the low three
;;; bits to identify the type of a machine word
