- add comments with builtin function signatures that are instantiated
- use Nodes type from the beginning instead of
  []*Node with a later conversion to Nodes
- use conv(x, y) helper function instead of nod(OCONV, x, y)
- factor out repeated calls to Type.Elem()

This makes the function style similar to newer functions like extendslice.
