! - clib now provides a set of additional int/float vector operations, as
!   suggested by John Cowan on the mailing list a while ago. These allow you to
!   treat byte strings as mutable C vectors of signed/unsigned 8/16/32 bit
!   integers or float/double values. Operations to convert between such C
!   vectors and corresponding lists of integers/floating point values are
!   provided as well.
