double-float-to-shorts

Arguments: double-float

Returns four values, each 16-bit unsigned numbers that represent 16 bits of the double-float, starting from the highest significant 16 bits, and ending with the lowest significant 16 bits. No consing is done, except that the pseudo-resourced multiple-values-vector might be consed the first time after a scavenge. Each succeeding call will reuse the values vector normally.
