Two quick questions: Given that C_namespaced_symbolp is inlineable and
unsafe, shouldn't it be named C_u_i_namespaced_symbolp?

And, given that it's inlineable, I think it would be better to put it in
tweaks.scm (for example) as a define-inline.  I think this would be much
more efficient.  Perhaps this even dwarfs the scan time of memchr.

Other than that, to me this looks like a very nice set of patches and it
should definitely make it easier for us to move stuff around now.
Great work!

Cheers,
Peter
