Arithmetic functions don't match DRM
From a Gitter conversation...

It's surprising to me that some of the arithmetic functions in the DRM are defined on <object> rather than, say, <number>. And in fact it looks like Open Dylan doesn't match the spec here. Any idea why they would do that in the DRM?
(Looking at ^ in particular right now.)

Some OD implementations diverge from the DRM in the other direction (more permissive) as well, and I see that sometimes this is to have methods on <machine-word>.
Peter S. Housel @housel Nov 29 18:14
I don't think it's necessary to have arithmetic methods that work for <machine-word>; when I want that, I use the explicit %+
So, let's remove the <machine-word> versions of these and make them match the DRM. For now I'm marking the testworks specs for them as expected to fail and pointing to this bug.
