Most of the time this just gets ignored (its usually the parent module,
and functions don't usually care about that) but here it doesn't.

exceptionNew just calls __new__, but some exceptions have
important __init__ methods that need to be called.

Well, I think those exceptions might be broken (they should probably
set that data in __init__) but this is still a good anyway.

I'm not sure why clang doesn't warn about these, since it's supposed to support
the -Wconst-qual warning that these violate.

I added a bugfix to this branch for merging

add tp_getattr support, PyCFunction_NewEx, and most of PyNumber_Int's behavior

In typeCallInternal, we used to expand out any starargs in order to take a look
at the first arg (and change it when passing it).

We had a bug in this code, and rather than make that code more complicated
to fix it, just call back into callFunc to resolve it.  This is kind of tricky
since callFunc will call typeCall, and we don't want typeCall to duplicate
the typeCallInternal behavior (that's not any better than duplicating the
arg behavior), so we want typeCall to call into typeCallInternal.  But
typeCall receives varargs! which typeCallInternal doesn't support.  So typeCall
has to do some (simpler) arg handling to expand out the varargs.

In the end, it simplifies the code a little bit but causes a bunch of extra calls
in the varargs case, so it's less of a win than I thought, but at least it
fixes the bug.

We could make the typeGCHandler support these half-constructed classes,
but let's just turn off the GC for this area.

implement setting __name__ for functions

Update gcc-4.8.2 tarball url to generic gnu ftpmirror.

compvar: add int <op> float handling

Convert the integer to a float and then let the float code handle the operation
With this change the type analysis is also able to comprehend that
e.g. '1 - <float>' will return a float

This means that the math operations in the 'linear_combination' function in chaos.py
get completely inlined.

improves chaos.py by 5%

We seem to be spending a fair amount of time doing unnecessary work
for simple calls like boxInt and createList, which are generated
by irgen and reduce to calling new BoxedInt / BoxedList.  The
operator new calls tp_alloc, so we get some indirect function calls,
and then tp_alloc does some checking about its caller, and then we
check to see what size object to create, and how to initialize it.

I created a DEFAULT_CLASS_SIMPLE macro to go with DEFAULT_CLASS,
that should help with these things.  I (manually) inlined all of those
functions into the operator new.

I also moved the small arena bucket selection function (SmallArena::alloc)
into the header file so that it can get inlined, since the allocation size
is often known at compile time and we can statically resolve to a bucket.

Putting these together means that boxInt and createList are much tighter.

__thread seems quite a bit faster than pthread_get_specific, so
if we give up on having multiple Heap objects, then we can store
a reference to the current thread's ThreadBlockCache in a static
__thread variable.  It looks like this ends up mattering (5% average
speedup) since SmallArena::_alloc() is so hot

Teach len() howto rewrite itself

-15% for fasta.py

At some point I'm sure we'll start paying for our 2KB+ inline caches,
but it doesn't seem to be now!

It's a pretty crude heuristic, but it stops us from endlessly
rewriting "megamorphic" IC sites.

There are a number of regressions; I feel like this is something
we'll be tuning a lot.

Limit the number of generator stacks that we save, and register them as
additional GC pressure.

Smaller performance improvements for fasta

remove the larger buckets, and hoist some math out of loops.

Python exposes the finding part through the 'imp' module.

It uses the buffer protocol, so make str support that better.

For some reason the larger bucket sizes are causing a large perf hit
in spectral_norm.  It's unclear exactly why this is happening, but
theories are legion.  More investigation is warranted, but this gets us
back from the perf regression.

Also hoist the atom_idx calculation out of a couple of loops that were
iterating over object indices.
