yes, fn-%dispatch would have to be locally (dynamically) bound, but that's
the correct behavior for it, in my mind.

version:  my preference is to keep pulling this out of the c code rather
than initial.es.

result:  the version with return is much slower, so i think this will
stay a primitive.  also, it doesn't seem like much code bloat to keep
the identity function in the language.

one:  will be in initial.es in the next version.
