math.matrices.elimination: move to extra
math.matrices.extras: expand with esoteric, less-used and unfinished code from basis
- math.matrices and .extras receive more words, tests, and docs
- matrix has become a predicate class
- 94% of matrices words have complete docs
- 77% of matrices.extras words have complete docs
- much more consistent naming for constructors etc
- added missing words / features such as main-diagonal and anti-transpose
- optimizations
- lots of documentation
There are two consequences:
- the thrown object is now a windows-error, previously it was a string;
- if GetLastError returns zero, nothing is thrown. Previously the string
"The operation completed successfully." was thrown in that case.
This is for calculating e^x-1 for small values more accurately. You can also
call expm1(x) function if you want, and it's available on your platform.

The second case correctly eliminates the bitand but incorrectly assumes
that the item on the stack (which is an integer -- either a fixnum or a
bignum), was converted to a bignum.
Addresses #2170
- fixed: `interval-bitor` caused bit-growth
- improved: `interval-bitor` more exact about lower bounds
The added utility words could be used as a basis to make the other bitwise
interval operations more exact also.
We probably want a word that finds libssl.x.dylib where x is the highest version so that we don't have to update the libary-loading code in the future.
This is all because loading libssl.dylib causes a SIGABORT signal 6, perhaps there's another workaround?
