* optimization: implemented multiplication as a modular
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) operation on the x86 backend.
+ * optimization: SEARCH on simple-base-strings can now be open-coded.

* bug fix: functions =, /=, <, <=, >, >= did not check the argument
type when called with 1 argument; PEEK-CHAR checked type of
PEEK-TYPE only after having read first character from a
stream. (reported by Peter Graves)
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
- ** in stack analysys liveness information is propagated from
+ ** in stack analysis liveness information is propagated from
non-local entry points.
** pathwise CAST removing failed when the CAST node did not start
a block.
+ ** INPUT-STREAM-P, OUTPUT-STREAM-P, STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE and
+ OPEN-STREAM-P signal a TYPE-ERROR if their argument is not a
+ stream.
