Properties are currently stored in alists.  They can be stored in
vectors instead.  Give all grob properties a number, then have an array
per grob type mapping this number to an index into an array.  The first
number can be memoized for literal property names, turning a property
lookup into two indexing operations.

That's the gist.  For Scheme code, the memoization could be replaced by
macro compilation, but Guilev2 byte compilation of course is sort of a
roadblock here, too.
