Such an object can exist on the heap (default), as a raw value in a typed array, or on the control stack.

Does that basically imply that once you initialise a double float within a function body and declare it as such, it will remain in its raw form as long as you do not supply it as an argument to a non-local function and do not return it?

What exactly does ‘compilation environment’ mean here, a defun, a let, or something else?
