Summary: f+ has incompatible definitions

Initial Comment:
clmacs defines f+ as nary fixnum addition macro:
     (def-op f+ fixnum +)
and it is used in many places that way.

But plot.lisp and todd-coxeter.lisp define it as binary 
expr:
  plot.lisp: (defbinop f+ + fixnum)
  todd-coxeter.lisp: (defmacro f+ (a b)...)

The binary definition has overridden the nary definition in 
the built system, so any loads of source code that 
depend on nary f+ will run into problems.

Clearly there needs to be more discipline here.

plot.lisp no longer has the redefinition, and todd-coxeter
uses a compiler-macro.  This shouldn't be a problem anymore,
but we should remove the compiler-macro anyway.
