 Working TODO list:
  
- - Issues with libraries:
-
- icyc compiles now, but quote is broken, eg:
-
-    cyclone> 'a
-    Error: Unbound variable quote
-
-  it seems tagged-list? is receiving two different instances of the "quote" symbol
-  add_symbol(quote_quote); appears in each module
-  possible fix:
-   - replace/modify defsymbol so it creates the quote_ pointers, but zeros them
-   - modify the entry_pt function to use find_or_add_sym to initialize all symbols prior to the module doing anything. as part of this, allocate the sym and assign the appropriate quote_ var to it. this should work across modules since the first module would create it, second one would use the found one, etc.
-
  - Reduction in size of generated code
    is there anything we can do?
    are closures being packed/unpacked unnecessarily?
