RISC, though even RISC has become bloated recently, with the immense
number of transistors available...

This reminds me, the macros/code that check if two objects can merge,
might be too much for some compilers to handle.  Maybe we should set up
in advance the bits we check against, and just AND that bitarray with
the flag integers.
