Let integers use up 2 tags to give them one extra bit and double their range. * lisp.h (USE_2_TAGS_FOR_INTS): New macro. (LISP_INT_TAG, case_Lisp_Int, LISP_STRING_TAG, LISP_INT_TAG_P): New macros. (enum Lisp_Type): Use them. Give explicit values. (Lisp_Type_Limit): Remove. (XINT, XUINT, make_number) [!USE_LISP_UNION_TYPE]: (MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM, MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM, INTMASK): Pay attention to USE_2_TAGS_FOR_INTS. (INTEGERP): Use LISP_INT_TAG_P. * fns.c (internal_equal): Simplify the default case. (sxhash): Use case_Lisp_Int. * data.c (wrong_type_argument): Don't check against Lisp_Type_Limit any more. (Ftype_of): Use case_Lisp_Int. (store_symval_forwarding): Take into account the fact that Ints can now have more than one tag. * buffer.c (syms_of_buffer): Use LISP_INT_TAG. buffer_slot_type_mismatch): * xfaces.c (face_attr_equal_p): * print.c (print_object): * alloc.c (mark_maybe_object, mark_object, survives_gc_p): Use case_Lisp_Int.

This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions.  Byte-compiled
files are architecture-independent.

The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
certain terminal types.  When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
`term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
purpose.
