Don't you think the free list in Lisp wastes a lot of space? If the right
half of every cell is going to be NIL anyway, why not use only half of the
space on the free storage list for info about where the list is and free
the remaining cells for something useful?

But if the remaining cells were being used for something useful, they would not be free....
