Matthew Flatt bdf1c3e165 bytecode compiler: generalize local-type tracking for unboxing
Track fixnum results in the same way as flonum results to enable
unboxing, if that turns out to be useful. The intent of the change,
though, is to support other types in the future, such as "extnums".

The output `raco decompile' no longer includes `#%in', `#%flonum',
etc., annotations, which are mostly obvious and difficult to
keep in sync with the implementation. A local-binding name now
reflects a known type, however.

The change includes a bug repair for he bytecode compiler that
is independent of the generalization (i.e., the new test case
triggered the old problem using flonums).

The Racket programming language
===============================

Important executables:

* DrRacket: Racket's integrated development environment (start here!).

* Racket: the main command-line entry point for running racket programs
  and scripts.

* GRacket: the GUI-mode Racket executable.

* raco: Racket's command-line toolset.


More Information
----------------

Racket comes with extensive documentation: use DrRacket's `Help' menu,
or run `raco docs'.  Also, visit us at http://racket-lang.org/ for more
Racket resources.

Instructions for building Racket from source are in src/README.
