/* All struct data must be allocated at an address whose bottom three
   bits are zero.  This is because the tag for a struct lives in the
   bottom three bits of the struct's car, and the upper bits point to
   the data of its vtable, which is a struct itself.  Thus, if the
   address of that data doesn't end in three zeros, tagging it will
   destroy the pointer.

   This function allocates a block of memory, and returns a pointer at
   least scm_struct_n_extra_words words into the block.  Furthermore,
   it guarantees that that pointer's least three significant bits are
   all zero.

   The argument n_words should be the number of words that should
   appear after the returned address.  (That is, it shouldn't include
   scm_struct_n_extra_words.)

   This function initializes the following fields of the struct:

     scm_struct_i_ptr --- the actual start of the block of memory; the
	 address you should pass to 'free' to dispose of the block.
	 This field allows us to both guarantee that the returned
	 address is divisible by eight, and allow the GC to free the
	 block.

     scm_struct_i_n_words --- the number of words allocated to the
         block, including the extra fields.  This is used by the GC.
