Value Class plugin

The value class plugin is an prototype that enables multi-parameter value classes for Scala. It relies on the same basic transformation as the miniboxing plugin, late data layout.

Eugene Burmako - the value class plugin based on the LDL transformation
Pablo Guerrero - the value class benchmarks, which explore the performance of different encodings for multi-parameter value classes

A lot of people helped realize the dream of miniboxing, in many ways. Here's an incomplete list:

Martin Odersky, for his patient guidance
Eugene Burmako, for trusting the idea enough to develop the value-plugin based on the LDL transformation
Iulian Dragos, for his work on specialization and many explanations
Miguel Garcia, for his original insights that spawned the miniboxing idea
Michel Schinz, for his wonderful comments and enlightening ACC course
Andrew Myers and Roland Ducournau for the discussions we had and the feedback provided
Heather Miller for the eye-opening discussions we had
Vojin Jovanovic, Sandro Stucki, Manohar Jonalagedda and the whole LAMP laboratory in EPFL for the extraordinary athmosphere -- when we're all in the room, sparks fly.
Adriaan Moors, for the miniboxing name which stuck :))
Thierry Coppey, Vera Salvisberg and George Nithin, who patiently listened to many presentations and provided valuable feedback
Grzegorz Kossakowski, for the many brainstoring sessions on specialization
Erik Osheim, Tom Switzer and Rex Kerr for their guidance on the Scala community side
OOPSLA paper and artifact reviewers, who reshaped the paper with their feedback
Sandro, Vojin, Nada, Heather, Manohar - reviews and discussions on the LDL paper
Hubert Plociniczak for the type notation in the LDL paper
Denys Shabalin, Dmitry Petrashko for their patient reviews of the LDL paper
