[comp.compilers] compile-time tag stripping

debray@arizona.edu (Saumya K. Debray) (08/04/88)

Does anyone know of references to compile-time tag stripping in
languages like Lisp or Prolog?  The idea is to take procedures that
take and return tagged objects, and compile them so that repeated
untagging and tagging of objects is minimized as far as possible.
