CONTRIBUTORS

- eval_term no longer computes result during compile time
- generated ML code is now compiled via ML_Context.use_mltext
rather than use_text; this makes sure that antiquotations
are expanded
- quickcheck now checks whether types to be substituted for
type variables have correct sorts; this avoids spurious
counterexamples
- execution time for auto_quickcheck is now limited
