Constructs a result by folding over x. At each recursive step, first calls fold-short-circuit with the current input value and a thunk that computes the result for that value. If that thunk is called, continues using fold-list, fold-list*, fold-vector, fold-box, fold-prefab, fold-hash-eq, fold-hash-eqv, fold-hash-equal, fold-syntax, and fold-other as appropriate. All of the above functions except fold-other are called with the result of recurring on their sub-parts; fold-other is called with a recursive folding procedure and the current input value.

Default folding functions. The default-fold-short-circuit function simply calls the provided thunk; default-fold-other returns its second argument. The other functions reconstitute their arguments into the corresponding data type (list, improper list, etc.).
