My "Anatomy of LISP" book is in storage, but as I recall, it came
about just as an optimization for the original hardware... One long
register holding both CAR and CDR pointers (my mind also insists the TLA
are Content Address Register, Content Data Register, though the names
seem backwards since the CAR tended to refer to the current node's data,
and CDR referred to the next node)
