Reduce number of getindex(::Type, ...) methods
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Previously, there were special cases for `T[]`, `T[a]`, `T[a,b]` and
`T[a,b,c]`. Together with the general case for more elements, that meant
five methods to consider in cases like `T[x...]` where the length of `x`
was not known at compile time. That was beyond the inference limit and
such a call would be inferred as `Any`. So this change gets rid of all
the special cases.

The loop-based general case worked well if all arguments were of the
same type, but otherwise suffered from type-instability inside the loop.
Without the special cases for low element count this would be hit more
often, so the loop is replaced with a call to `afoldl` that basically
unrolls the loop for up to 32 elements.
