refactor: Demonstrate macro generating a generic implementations interface

I swapped in the new macro in source files numbers/predicate.ts,
  Complex/arithmetic.ts, and Complex/predicate.ts. Note that you have
  to specify whether you are reflecting the generic or concrete
  implementations, which in some cases will mean two separate macro calls
  (as in Complex/predicate.ts).

  Also tried out the $$typeMetadata macro in Complex/all.ts; you can see the
  result by building and looking at build/Complex/all.js. It splits things
  up somewhat but we would still need to do a bunch of parsing, so probably
  not worth switching.
