The Vector type is simply a generic type for built-in JavaScript Arrays. The parameter type is the type of all of the entries of the Array. The Vector type also supports inhomogeneous arrays by using the special type `Unknown` as the argument type, but note that when computing with inhomogeneous arrays, method dispatch must be performed separately for every entry in a calculation, making all operations considerably slower than on homogeneous Vector instances.
Note also that arithmetic operations on nested Vectors, e.g. `Vector(Vector(NumberT))` are defined so as to interpret such entities as ordinary matrices, represented in row-major format (i.e., the component `Vector(NumberT)` items of such an entity are the _rows_ of the matrix.

Adds all of the pocomath functions on Complex that do not depend on any unimplemented types or config properties, except quotient and roundquotient, where the design is murky. To get this working, adds some additional features:
* Allows conversions to generic types, with the matched type
determined from the return value of the built convertor
* Adds predicate-based type patterns
* Adds conversion from any non-complex type T to Complex(T)
* Adds check for recursive loops in resolve (a key/signature depending on itself)

Pursuant to #12. Besides changing the name of onType to match, and only allowing one pattern and result in `match()`,
this PR also arranges that in place of an onType with lots of alternating PATTERN, VALUE, PATTERN, VALUE arguments, one now exports an _array_ of `match(PATTERN, VALUE)` items.
Doesn't quite fully resolve#12, because there is still the question of whether `match(...)` can be left out for a behavior that literally matches anything (current behavior), or whether `match(Passthru, behavior)` should be required for such cases.
