If we go this route, we should rename EQ (say, to just E) and write a new EQ 
function in C that acts like Emacs eq, and similarly rename 
MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM. It'd be pretty confusing otherwise. Not sure it's worth 
the effort.

Ah, good catch. I got confused because one argument of the 'eq' call can be a 
bignum; trouble can't occur unless both are bignums. I changed that eql back to eq.
