[PATCH v2 2/8] builtin: define a symbol_op for a generic op acting on integer

[Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenryck@xxxxxxxxx>]

This can be used to define some generic (polymorphic) builtin
with a signature like:
	<name>(int)
	<name>(T, T)
	<name>(int, T)
	<name>(int, T, long, T, ... T)
where T is some integer type which will be instantiated at each call.
