Two new heap tags:
7 = vector [tag, len, elem_0, elem_1, ...] 8 + 4*len bytes
8 = hashtable [tag, count, alist_ptr] 12 bytes
Vector primitives (88-95):
vector, vector?, make-vector, vector-length,
vector-ref, vector-set!, vector->list, list->vector
Hash table primitives (96-106):
make-hash-table, hash-table?, hash-table-set!,
hash-table-ref, hash-table-ref/default,
hash-table-delete!, hash-table-exists?, hash-table-size,
hash-table-keys, hash-table-values, hash-table->alist
Hash table lookup is linear (equal? on each key) — fine for browser-scale
demos. Same linear-scan caveat as the symbol intern; would warrant a real
hash function at scale.
print_value now renders vectors as #(a b c) and hashtables as #<hashtable>.
