Comment (by sjamaan):

 According to Felix, tagged pointer tag comparisons could just be
 implemented with {{{eq?}}}/{{{eqv?}}}.  This would be strictly backwards
 incompatible, so maybe only do that in CHICKEN 5?

 Alternatively, deprecate the whole inline mess, but keep using it for
 tagged pointers.  At the same time, we could also deprecate the fact that
 it uses {{{equal?}}} and switch to {{{eqv?}}} in a later version.
