Best approach for runtime dispatching inside a hot loop (heterogeneous tree structure)

@Stephen_Vavasis

Unfortunately, this optimization is broken on some platforms in 0.6 (i.e., erroneous machine-code is emitted) because of an LLVM bug, but in an earlier discourse discussion Yichao Yu posted instructions how to patch your 0.6 for this particular bug.

Wow cool, thanks. For reference, this is the post: Match LLVM with Julia source? - #3 by Stephen_Vavasis.
