Even though these uses of `x` aren't supposed to be special vars,
lets' rename them all anyway for consistency and also to make sure
some other file doesn't declare `x` as a special and inadvertently
make these `x`'s special.
There are no uses of `x` anymore after the first declaration of `x` as
a special. Thus we can remove the commented out (redundant) special
declaration near line 790. We can also remove the `unspecial`
declaration for `x` because there are no uses of `x` afterwards.
`$ratdiff` doesn't really seem to need the special variable `x`, so
rename it to `ratout-x`.
Remove the special declaration for `x` too that occurs just before
`$ratdiff`. (Note the there's another declaration for `x` near the
beginning of the file.)
Commit [cde0c181] updated dependencies for risch.lisp to get `dosum`
and `mtoa` (at least) to be compiled before risch.lisp. However, this
causes test failures with ecl. I just did a git bisect to find that
[cde0c181] is the first bad commit.
I didn't investigate why this causes test failures. I'm guessing some
of the files declare a variable special, which also happens to be the
name of some variable in risch.lisp, so things are messed up. (If so,
this is yet another reason to remove as many special variables as
possible.)
Reverting the commit manually allows ecl to pass the testsuite without
errors, as expected.
We moved `pmodcontent` into `pgcdp` but left the original commented
out. Remove that function now, and move the corresponding comment to
the labels function.

In package descriptive, implementation of "skyline histogram",
which is just showing the outline of the histogram bars, instead of drawing
all the vertical segments.
histogram and histogram_description construct skyline histograms when
the global variable histogram_skyline = true (false by default).
