Log Message:
Add C speedups for range comparisons in generic functions and dispatchers.
Mainly, this speeds up the binary search part when the target value is
at the low or high end of the scale (because of comparisons with the
special 'Min' and 'Max' objects).  Performance tests appear to indicate
that Dispatcher.__getitem__ (and the nested 'get' closure) is where simple
generic functions spend most of their dispatch time, so that probably
needs to be written in C as well.  But, it should probably wait until after
I get pattern matching and variable binding figured out.
