Glen Whitney 36e7b750ce refactor: Make generics more strict via templates
This commit also adds a built-in `typeOf` function to every PocomathInstance.
  It also adds a notation (prefix '!') for "eager" templeates that
  instantiate themselves for all types immediately upon definition.

Glen Whitney d9d7af961f refactor: Simpler merging mechanism
Merging of Pocomath modules is eased by allowing one PocomathInstance to
  be merged into another. That allows types, for example, to be exported
  as a PocomathInstance (so there is no need for a special identifier
  convention for types; they can be directly added with an installType
  method). Also, larger modules can just be exported as an instance, since
  there is more flexibility and more checking in merging PocomathInstances
  than raw modules.

Glen Whitney f68c7bd1fb fix(Types): Move distinct types into distinct identifiers
This allows types to be collected; prior to this commit they
   were conflicting from different modules.

   Uses this fix to extend sqrt to bigint, with the convention
   that it is undefined for non-perfect squares when 'predictable'
   is false and is the "best" approximation to the square root when
   'predictable' is true. Furthermore, for negative bigints, you might
   get a Gaussian integer when predictable is false; or you will just get
   your argument back when 'predictable' is true because what other
   bigint could you give back for a negative bigint?

   Also had to modify tests on the sign in sqrt(Complex) and add functions
   'zero' and 'one' to get types to match, as expected in #27.

   Adds numerous tests.

   Resolves #26.

Glen Whitney 0069597a76 fix: Separate typed instance for each PocomathInstance (#15)
Also starts each PocomathInstance with no types at all, and uses the new
  situation to eliminate the need for a Complex "base case".

  Resolves #14.
  Resolves #13.
