- Tighten up type inference for operations on complex float arrays
- Fix v. to have correct behavior with complex numbers
- Rename v<< and v>> to vlshift and vrshift to avoid clashing with v>> accessor
- Replace hand-written specialized-arrays.* subvocabularies with new system; instead of USE:ing specialized-arrays.T, do SPECIALIZED-ARRAY: T
- Ditto for specialized-vectors; use SPECIALIZED-VECTOR:
- io.mmap.functor: removed entirely, use <mapped-array> instead
- struct-arrays and struct-vectors have been removed because specialized arrays and vectors subsume them entirely
- cpu.architecture: add SSE vector representations
- compiler.cfg.intrinsics.alien: remove an attempt at optimization that value numbering handles now
- compiler.cfg.representations: support instructions where the representation is set in the 'rep' slot, and support conversions between single and double floats
- alien-float, set-alien-float now use the single float representation, and the conversion is implicit; this fixes a long-standing bug where a register could get clobbered because of how %set-alien-float was defined on x86
- math.vectors.specialization: add support for SIMD specialization (where the vector word's body is replaced by another quotation), also specialize the 'sum' word
- math.vectors.simd: 4float-array, 2double-array, 4double-array types, and specializers for the math.vectors words
