   Symbol values have associated type information.  Users should be
acquainted with the following types in ALRC:

   * ALRC_INVALID

     This is the type of a value that is either false or for some reason
     invalid.  No evaluation or assignment should be attempted with this
     type.

   * ALRC_LIST

     This type contains other types.  If not quoted, it is evaluated as
     an expression with the first item specifying the function name,
     which is probably not what you want.

          '( 0.0 0.0 0.0 )          ; list which is not an expression
          ( define blah 'blah ) 	; list which is an expression

   * ALRC_SYMBOL

     Things which, when evaluated, are not themselves.

   * ALRC_INTEGER

     Integer numbers.

   * ALRC_FLOAT

     Floating point numbers.

   * ALRC_STRING

     A series of characters enclosed by '"'.
