[Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] Fix for exactness check and enforcing types in max/min (#887)

[Peter Bex]

Hi all,

Attached is a fix for #887.  I also noticed that (max 'x) => x,
which means the #:enforcing in types.db is untrue, so I've also
added a check of the first value's type in the max/min procedures.
The other values (in "ns") are checked by the predicate.  Actually,
the first value's type is checked twice now if the list is nonempty.
If that's a huge deal we could change this, but it would complicate
the code more and the differentiation will make the code more
complicated and probably slow it down just as much as the extra check.

Cheers,
Peter
