@tobinbaker Been there, done that. aarch64's instructions can do this reasonably efficiently. Storing the pointer bits unshifted in the tagged representation is convenient for debuggability: it's easier for humans to recognize that there is an address inside the value. But sometimes it is more efficient to store it differently to optimize the instruction sequences.
