+ * optimization: compiler-internal data structure use has been
+ reviewed, and changes have been made that should improve the
+ performance of the compiler by about 20%.
+ * optimization: performance of FILL (and :INITIAL-ELEMENT) on
+ simple-base-strings and simple-bit-vectors is improved.
+ * microoptimization: the compiler is better able to make use of the
+ x86 LEA instruction for multiplication by constants.
+ * bug fix: in some situations compiler did not report usage of
+ generic arithmetic in (SPEED 3) policy.
+ * bug 145b fix: compiler used wrong type specifier while converting
+ MEMBER-types to numeric.
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** the RETURN clause in LOOP is now equivalent to DO (RETURN ...).
+ ** ROUND and FROUND now give the right answer when given very
+ small float arguments.
+ ** (FLOAT X) for X of type DOUBLE-FLOAT now returns X in all
+ circumstances.
+ ** optimizer for (EXPT X 0) did not work for X not of type FLOAT.
+ ** (GCD 0 <negative-integer>) returned <negative-integer>.
+ ** LCM should return a non-negative integer.
+ ** PARSE-INTEGER returned the index of a terminator instead of the
+ upper bounding index of a substring in case :JUNK-ALLOWED NIL.
+ ** PARSE-INTEGER returned an incorrect index being applied to a
+ displaced string.
+ ** LCM with two arguments of 0 returns 0 rather than signalling
+ DIVISION-BY-ZERO.
+ ** unsigned addition of a 32-bit constant with the high bit set no
+ longer causes an internal compiler error on the x86.
+ ** LOGBITP accepts a non-negative bignum as its INDEX argument.
+ ** compiler incorrectly derived types of DPB and DEPOSIT-FIELD
+ with negative last argument.
