to simplify ($fxu< (most-positive-fixnum) e) => (fx< e 0) so we
don't have any incentive in special casing length checks where
the maximum length happens to be (most-positive-fixnum).

is a fixnum and added meta-asserts to verify that it is in a couple of
others, to facilitate future changes to vector typing. vectors are
now treated essentially like fxvectors, strings, and bytevectors.
