These functions and variables give information about the total amount
of memory allocation that Emacs has done, broken down by data type.
Note the difference between these and the values returned by
garbage-collect; those count objects that currently exist, but
these count the number or size of all allocations, including those for
objects that have since been freed.
The total number of cons cells that have been allocated so far in this Emacs session.
The total number of floats that have been allocated so far in this Emacs session.
The total number of vector cells that have been allocated so far in this Emacs session.
The total number of symbols that have been allocated so far in this Emacs session.
The total number of string characters that have been allocated so far in this session.
The total number of miscellaneous objects that have been allocated so far in this session. These include markers and overlays, plus certain objects not visible to users.
