Justine Tunney 5a33a6b97a Add garbage collection (now 470 bytes)
This GC wraps Eval() to create a copy of the result, and then
memcpy's it backwards to the position where the g_mem pointer
resided at the beginning of Eval() thereby discarding all the
cons cells that got created which weren't part of the result.
Overlap (or negative GC) isn't possible because we don't copy
cells beneath the low water mark.

As it turns out 44 bytes is all you need to implement garbage
collection when your language guarantees that data structures
can't have cycles, due to the lack of mutability.
