Features
- Updated the compiler and runtime to allow a (practically) unlimited number of function arguments.
This involved changing the calling conventions of our generated C code and runtime functions, but is transparent to application developers. Program should continue to work without requiring modifications though it may be necessary to update `define-c` definitions if there are unused parameters, to prevent warnings from the C compiler. For example:

Most importantly, this change is transparent to application developers. Programs will continue to work without requiring modifications, though it may be necessary to update `define-c` definitions if there are unused parameters, to prevent warnings from the C compiler. For example:

TODO: is the following true? What about unused args in the C code?????
Note that no changes are a required if `(cyclone foreign)` is used to integrate with C.
- Provide alternative library names for each of the SRFI libraries. Generally these names follow the recommendations from R7RS Large - for example `(scheme list)` as a friendlier alternative to `(srfi 1)`.
