#187 closed enhancement (fixed)

SRFI-4 vector operations should be provided as ##core#inline calls

Description

Safe accessors (and length) should be implemented as C_inline functions in chicken.h, since the accessors in srfi-4.scm are rather slow.

Reminders:

1) Provide safe rewrite-rules the expand into inline calls like:

(##core#inline "C_i_u8vector_length" X 'u8vector) ; need to pass sym for checking structure tag

1) Use macros to generate XXXvector-length/-ref/-set! instead of higher order functions, and use safe inline routines (like the one above)

Since quite a lot of checking has to be done, it appears to be ok to keep the functions as normal Scheme code instead of implementing inline routines on the C level. srfi-4.scm has been heavily cleaned up an tuned and should be efficient enough (or at least more efficient) now.
