Block compilation

Block compilation allows DEFUN'd functions to be called as if they were defined with FLET or LABELS. Benefits include faster calling sequences and unboxed argument passing. Important for eg. code passing floats around.

I've looked at this a bit: it seems disabling a few assertions when block-compiling makes it "work", but I don't know if that's due to nature of block-compilation, or due to something being broken about it... Effect on performance also not yet tested. --nikodemus

A TODO for sure.
