Yogthos 7d85b3892f Hint-directed fast arithmetic: loop-carried variable typing (round 2)
A loop binding whose init is double and whose every recur arg stays double (a
bounded monotone fixpoint) is typed :double, so its arithmetic — and the recur
args feeding it — emit fl-ops. Chez can then keep the accumulator unboxed in a
float register across the loop.

Integer loop vars stay untyped: a bare integer init never seeds :long (same rule
as round 1), so a bignum-producing loop keeps arbitrary precision rather than
overflowing a fixnum. recur-kinds walks only tail position (if/do-ret/let-body),
stopping at nested loop/fn so a loop sees only its own recur.

A/B on a loop-carried double accumulator: 735ms generic -> 500ms typed (1.47x),
closing the gap to the JVM from ~3.3x to ~2.2x. The integer counter stays generic,
which is most of the residual.
