[Swift-devel] numeric type(s) in swift.

[Mihael Hategan]

I've committed some stuff to that branch which should make the numeric
operators more efficient. The language behavior tests seem to pass.

One potentially problem-causing change (if broken code makes broken
assumptions) is that Swift number values are not stored as strings any
more, but as subclasses of java.lang.Number.
