+/* Stack frames are allocated and deallocated at a considerable rate.
+   In an attempt to improve the speed of function calls, we maintain a
+   separate free list of stack frames (just like integers are
+   allocated in a special way -- see intobject.c).  When a stack frame
+   is on the free list, only the following members have a meaning:
+	ob_type		== &Frametype
+	f_back		next item on free list, or NULL
+	f_nvalues	size of f_valuestack
+	f_valuestack	array of (f_nvalues+1) object pointers, or NULL
+	f_nblocks	size of f_blockstack
+	f_blockstack	array of (f_nblocks+1) blocks, or NULL
+   Note that the value and block stacks are preserved -- this can save
+   another malloc() call or two (and two free() calls as well!).
+   Also note that, unlike for integers, each frame object is a
+   malloc'ed object in its own right -- it is only the actual calls to
+   malloc() that we are trying to save here, not the administration.
+   After all, while a typical program may make millions of calls, a
+   call depth of more than 20 or 30 is probably already exceptional
+   unless the program contains run-away recursion.  I hope.
