Description
The attached patch eliminates the :meta, :set, :vector, and :map ops.
These four operations can be defined more simply in terms of
calls to with-meta, set, vector, and hash-map respectively.
The compiler was optimizing construction of vectors and maps. Now,
those optimizations are implemented as macros. Additionally, sets
are optimized in much the same way.

Also worth mentioning: as macros instead of ops & emit methods, these optimizations can apply to any backend. The macros create ClojureScript forms, rather than manually generating JavaScript.
