Title: Core 111.08.00

## New package: bignum

A Core-flavoured wrapper around zarith's arbitrary-precision rationals.

## async_extra

- Added `Log.Message.add_tags`, which extends a message with a list of
key-value pairs.

val add_tags : t -> (string * string) list -> t

## async_kernel

- Changed low-level error messages to use `Sexp.to_string_hum` rather
than `to_string_mach`.

## async_ssl

- Improved the propagation of SSL errors to the caller.

## async_unix

- Added `Sys.when_file_changes : string -> Time.t Pipe.Reader.t`.
- Added `Time.now ()` to some error messages.

## core

- Improved `Command` to print a good error message if command-line
parsing raises.

`Command`'s `Exn.handle_uncaught` now protects the phase of parsing
command-line arguments in addition to protecting the phase of
running the `main` function as it did already.

## core_kernel

- Added `Hashtbl.for_all` and `for_alli`.
- Added `Float.to_padded_compact_string` for converting a floating point
number to a lossy, compact, human-readable representation.

E.g., `1_000_001.00` becomes `"1m "`.

- Tweaked the form of the definition of `Blang.Stable.V1`.

Removed a `type t_` that is not necessary now that we can use `nonrec`
without triggering spurious warnings.

## enumerate

- Restricted the signature of the `all` value generated by
`with enumerate`.

Now, in:

type t = [ `Foo | ... ] with enumerate

the type of `all` will be `t list`, instead of `[> t] list`.

When taking unions of polymorphic variant types, inserted the
appropriate coercions.

Fixes #1.

## jenga

- Fix a hang.

Jenga could reach a state with a non-zero todo-count, but have no
jobs actually running, and then hang in this state forever. The hang
would be evident from a progress line with not all targets built and
with `j=0+0` such as:

todo: 17 (100406 / 100423) j=0+0 con=149956 act=3303, finish at: 16:20

## ocaml_plugin

- Use `ocamldep` to generate the dependencies of an `.ml` file, if
requested.

Added a function to find the dependencies of a module, but did not
change the existing behavior and interface of the library if one
does not choose to use this functionality.

## pa_test

- Made it possible to use `<:test_eq< >>` and friends in `Core_kernel`.

Removed the dependency of the code generated by `pa_test` on
`Core_kernel`, so `pa_test` can be used there.

## re2

- Upgraded to upstream library version 20140304.

Added options `Dot_nl` and `Never_capture`.
