Byte-Code Function Type
-----------------------

   The byte compiler produces "byte-code function objects".
Internally, a byte-code function object is much like a vector; however,
the evaluator handles this data type specially when it appears as a
function to be called.  Note: Byte Compilation, for information about
the byte compiler.

   The printed representation and read syntax for a byte-code function
object is like that for a vector, with an additional `#' before the
opening `['.
