get t i and unsafe_get t i return the object at index i. set t i o and unsafe_set t i o set index i to o. In no case is the object copied. The unsafe_* variants omit the bounds check of i.
unsafe_set_assuming_currently_int t i obj sets index i of t to obj, but only works correctly if Caml.Obj.is_int (get t i). This precondition saves a dynamic check.
unsafe_set_int_assuming_currently_int is similar, except the value being set is an int.
unsafe_set_int is similar but does not assume anything about the target.
val unsafe_set_int_assuming_currently_int : t-> int -> int -> unit
unsafe_set_omit_phys_equal_check is like unsafe_set, except it doesn't do a phys_equal check to try to skip caml_modify. It is safe to call this even if the values are phys_equal.
unsafe_clear_if_pointer t i prevents t.(i) from pointing to anything to prevent space leaks. It does this by setting t.(i) to Caml.Obj.repr 0. As a performance hack, it only does this when not (Caml.Obj.is_int t.(i)).
