Numbers-style category dispatch for binary numeric ops

Browse source

Arithmetic and comparisons lowered to raw Chez ops, so an operand outside
Chez's tower (BigDecimal) crashed with a raw condition, and Chez contagion
leaked: (* 1.0 0) gave exact 0 where the JVM gives 0.0, (* ##Inf 0) gave 0
instead of ##NaN, (/ 1 0) raised an untyped error.

One seam now (host/chez/seq.ss): call position emits jolt-n* macros with the
both-Chez-numbers fast path open-coded; value position folds through the same
binary ops. Anything outside the tower falls to per-op slow hooks that
java/bigdec.ss extends, so bigdec arithmetic works in every position (the old
static-only :bigdec typing limitation is gone). JVM rules patched into the
fast path: a double operand wins, an exact zero divisor throws
ArithmeticException while a double zero divisor yields Inf/NaN, quot/rem/mod
cover ratios and doubles, min/max return the original operand with NaN
winning, a nil operand is NPE and a non-number CCE, zero-arg -// throw
ArityException at runtime instead of failing expansion.

Also: with-precision now binds *math-context* and bigdec results round with
real RoundingMode semantics (UNNECESSARY throws; division rounds to precision
instead of throwing); rationalize goes through the shortest decimal print
like BigDecimal.valueOf (the identity stub is gone); ratios coerce to bigdec
like Numbers.toBigDecimal; min/max int-literal operands no longer coerce to
flonum in the numeric pass.

Perf neutral: fib and seq benches unchanged (the fast path is two type checks
the optimizer folds); hinted fl/fx paths untouched. 19 JVM-certified corpus
rows; cts baseline 5614->5730 pass, 192->88 errors, 84->79 baselined
namespaces.
