+  * optimization: several character functions are now compiled somewhat more

+  * optimization: the compiler now derives simple types for LOAD-VALUE-FORMs.
   * improvement: less unsafe constant folding in floating point arithmetic,
     especially for mixed complex/real -float operations.
   * improvement: complex float division is slightly more stable.
