This is part 1 of 2 towards a new version of ReshapedArrays (#10507). I'm making them separate PRs because part 1 is best reviewed by the "numbers" crowd, and part 2 by the "arrays" crowd. I committed this as @simonster, since the core code here was developed by him.
I benchmarked this on 4 different machines against libdivide, which claims to have emphasized performance. We're doing pretty well, especially on master:
julia-0.5 isn't installed on the machines missing numbers (one does not have enough disk space left for a separate build, and the other is Ubuntu 12.04 which has troubles building master).
The tests are in this gist: https://gist.github.com/timholy/1d21885f00ac066d7237.
