[Ecls-list] Upcoming optimization of slot accessors

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

Ok, the patches are now in git/CVS. Using the code below, compiled, these
are the benchmark figures of FPRINT/PRETTY for different commits. The
greatest improvement was the use of special dispatch functions.

I have been doing some intensive checks of the functions, but please,
should you find any problem, report it ASAP and I will try to fix it.

Now, back to the cave for some more optimizations...
