Your patch is now applied and on the repo. I have also added inlining of ##flsquare.
Thanks. (It took me a few minutes to understand that I needed to "make bootstrap" after the changes.)
The compiler should probably expand
(square x)
as
(cond ((##fixnum? x) (cond ((##eq? x 0) 0) ((##fixnum.*? x x) => values) (else (##square x))) ((##flonum? x) (##flsquare x)) (else (##square x))
and similarly for flsquare. And similarly for conjugate.

I added ##fxsquare and ##fxsquare? and the speculative inlining of square based on those functions.
How important is it to speculatively inline conjugate ? It seems to be a very special purpose function. Are there computationally heavy numerical functions that would be slow if it was not inlined?
