Bug Fixes -- Fixed a bug where `current-jiffy` was returning total clock time of the process. This old approach cannot be used to measure time accurately when more than one thread is executing concurrently. -- Allow optimizer to beta expand a wider range of function calls. More importantly, prevent the possibility of an infinite loop by not beta expanding recursive function calls. +- Fixed a bug where `current-jiffy` was returning total clock time of the process.
