 Active tasks:
-- Speed up symbol storage and reference using symbol id's
-  - Fast symbols are property tag in DB (so code doesn't corrupt DB)
 - Full 64-bit support (arrays, native 64-bit fixnums, etc)
   - Set parameter at startup based on *features*
   - Mark fixnums appropriately: 32-bit lisps can decode 64-bit fixnums as bignums (two 32-bit entities)
     - propogate assumptions to bignum byte specs
     - are there other fixed assumptions?
   - char vs. uint8 in buffer-stream to read-out (See Marco e-mail)
+
 - Ensure serialization is thread-safe and reasonably efficient
   - Provide support for fast and slow critical sections by lisps: buffer-streams, 
     circularity-arrays/hashes, shared controller side-effects... (see email)
