A a question about the object locking implementation:

What exactly is an "object" in the context of locking? I'm not sure
whether one can obtain locks for immediate values. For non-immediates,
one can simply take the scmx_pointer_value() of the object and look
that up in a hash table. If immediates can be locked, too, this will
complicate things, so I better ask befor I start producing superfluous
code.
