This really should read:

                     *****

These pointers are very specific to the GNU elisp byte-compiler.  One
of the fascinating things about lisp is how these trade-offs differ
from dialect to dialect, and implementation to implementation.  This is
one of the things that makes lisp such a difficult language to program
*well* in.
