/*                      Atoms: Names to numbers                 HTAtom.h
 *                      =======================
 *
 *      Atoms are names which are given representative pointer values
 *      so that they can be stored more efficiently, and compaisons
 *      for equality done more efficiently.
 *
 *      HTAtom_for(string) returns a representative value such that it
 *      will always (within one run of the program) return the same
 *      value for the same given string.

The HTFormat type
