As I understand it, there is no space in typecodes to store the type 
information for nilvector, which is an optimization of a special case of 
vector. It should theoretically be possible, as I understand it, to remove 
the nilvector code entirely when building with typecodes and use the standard 
vector code, as was used in 2.31.

Is this correct Sam?

I experimented with this (using -DTYPECODES on i386) but the interpreter was 
aborting - it seemed it was finding a typecode it didn't recognize - but I 
don't know why this was, and have not investigated further.
