Other than the code, probably not.  Since it's an implementation
optimization, I see no particular reason that it should be documented
elsewhere.  Hmmm... It would be interesting if we had a buildbot which
through a series of slightly twisty C macros built an interpreter that
eliminates the free list altogether to make sure nothing depends on its
presence or size.
