Timings (as for change 1122043) go from 49ms to 48ms ish. It's
mostly lost in the noise, but it probably doesn't hurt.

To draw.Draw a 32x32 image.Alpha 10000 times,
Before: 633ms with 10000 mallocs
After: 49ms with 0 mallocs

These times are just blitting an image.Alpha, and do not include
rasterizing a glyph's vector contours to an image.Alpha.

The "generic" test case in draw_test.go tests this fast path.

- removed last argument (n) from all core arithmetic routines;
  instead, use the length of the result

- simplified nat.make implementation and chose a better capacity
  for new values, removed a TODO in the process

Changing the constant e from 1 (old) to 4 (new) improved
pidigits -s -n 10000 by ~9% (on a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo):

This change improves pidigits -s -n10000 by almost 20%:

Because maps are mostly a hidden type, they must be
implemented using reflection values and will not be as
efficient as arrays and slices.
