We have 30 years of experience with Lisp_Object.
It works well and is efficient.

The other scheme originally implemented was terribly inefficient (just
like the still present signal-emasculating scheme) and with no
experience to show for it.

If you want a "emacs_value_pointer" abstraction, you can layer it on top
of the current API.  The reverse is not true.
