The colas function allocates 2 slice headers in each call (via Nodes.Set)
only to throw away those slice headers in the common case where both the
lhs and rhs in "lhs := rhs" have length 1.

Avoid the Nodes.Set calls in those cases. For make.bash, this eliminates
~63,000 slice header allocations.

Also: Minor cleanups in colasdefn.
