renamed `partition-count' to `partitions' to be consistent with
`permutations', and gave better examples in `multinomial' docs
* (flulp-error +inf.0 +nan.0) was returning +nan.0 instead of +inf.0
* Type of `multinomial' didn't match its docs or `flmultinomial'
* Reworded docs for `diagonal-array'
* Reworked/reordered quite a few things in docs for `math/bigfloat'
* Fixed first identity given in `gamma-inc' docs
* Fixed descrption for `+max.0', etc.
of libmpfr (like DrDr's) that don't have it
Reimplemented really simple FFI functions (e.g. mpfr-prec, mpfr-exp) to
avoid calling overhead
Renamed `bigfloat-sign' to `bigfloat-signbit'
Renamed `bigfloat-sig+exp' to `bigfloat->sig+exp' (for symmetry with
`sig+exp->bigfloat')
Fixed bigfloat functions that assumed (fixnum? x) means x fits in a _long
(not true on Win64)
Hopefully fixed dangling pointer errors that broke `math/bigfloat' on Win64.
It apparently had no _long/_int mismatches, but GC on Win64 will run between
creating an `_mpz' and using its value after passing it as an output argument
to MPFR functions. That doesn't seem to happen on 64-bit Linux or Mac. No
idea why, but Win64 exposed the problem so... that's good, I guess.
Rewrote `rational->bigfloat' to not use GMP's rationals
More/better bigfloat tests
Added bigfloat stress test w/ weak leak detection
Reenabled custodian shutdown callback that clears MPFR constants, because it
seems to work now
Removed `mpfr-available?' because it would only return non-#f
Cleaned up other docs in preparation for alpha-testing announcement
Created `math/utils' module for stuff that doesn't go anywhere else (e.g.
FFT scaling convention, max-math-threads parameters)
Reduced the number of macros that expand to applications of `array-map'
Added `flvector-sum', defined `flsum' in terms of it
Reduced the number of pointwise `flvector', `flarray' and `fcarray' operations
Reworked `inline-build-flvector' and `inline-flvector-map' to be faster and
expand to less code in both typed and untyped Racket
Redefined conversions like `list->flvector' in terms of for loops (can do
it now that TR has working `for/flvector:', etc.)
* bernoulli -> bernoulli-number
* farey -> farey-sequence
* fibonacci/mod -> modular-fibonacci
* order -> unit-group-order
* orders -> unit-group-orders
Documented `make-fibonacci' and `make-modular-fibonacci'
Reworked text about loading external libraries in docs for `math/bigfloat'
Removed type aliases like Z, Q, Prime (I like them, but TR was printing them
in unexpected places like array return types)

Some things about this are known to be broken (most egregious is that the
array tests DO NOT RUN because of a problem in typed/rackunit), about half
has no coverage in the tests, and half has no documentation. Fixes and
docs are coming. This is committed now to allow others to find errors and
inconsistency in the things that appear to be working, and to give the
author a (rather incomplete) sense of closure.
