[Chicken-hackers] an interesting idea?

[Jörg F . Wittenberger]

I just updated to current master.

First notice: with the modified allocation scheme for the m-stack
I observe a larger memory footprint.

The attached diff does roughly half the time the chicken executable
needs compiling it's own source.

IMHO it would be an interesting idea to convert C_mutate to
a macro, which would avoid any procedure call by lifting the check

 if(!C_immediatep(val) && C_i_in_stackp(val)) {

from the current C_mutate procedure into the TDB C_mutate macro
and call the TDB C_do_mutate procedure only in case.
