-----------------------------------------+----------------------------
 Many internal primitives in library.scm are compiled in safe mode, but are
 not strictly required to be safe. For normal primitives we want argument-
 count checking, etc., but since safeness declarations can only be scoped
 globally, all low-level interal procedures are compiled in safe mode as
 well, preventing possible optimizations by the compiler.

 I suggest having two files, library.scm and library-u.scm (for example),
 one compiled safe, the other unsafe. It should be possible to easily move
 definitions from one to the other, so that it can be done on a case-by-
 case basis.
