Various improvements

- Can now optionally compile Geiser components for enormous speed
improvements; enabled by default
- Apropos was returning many duplicates, which was causing slowdowns;
duplicates are now filtered
- Now check for #<unspecified> results and return something
- Fixed a typo in a comment
- Fixed a typo in calling string-length
