  * Fix Trac #783: improve short-cutting literals in the type checker
  
  The Inst.shortCutIntLit mechanism in the type checker was missing cases
  where a floating-point literal was given without an explicit decimal point.
  
  As a result, programs with lots of floating-point literals (without decimals)
  ended up with massive Static Reference Tables.  This is not cool.  See
  comments with Trac #783 for details.
