Use the closure tag for accumulators.
The first field of accumulators points out of the OCaml heap, so using closures instead of tag-0 objects is better for the GC. Accumulators are distinguished from closures because their code pointer necessarily is the "accumulate" address, which points to an ACCUMULATE instruction.
