      Bigstring intrinsics and fast blits based on memcpy/memmove



      The OCaml compiler has a bunch of intrinsics for Bigstrings, but they're not

      widely-known, sometimes misused, and so programs that use Bigstrings are slower

      than they have to be. And even if a library got that part right and exposed the

      intrinsics properly, the compiler doesn't have any fast blits between

      Bigstrings and other string-like types.



      So here they are. Go crazy.
