Code generation about ndarray HOT 3 OPEN

@patgrasso -- I don't see an escodegen branch in that repo. Did you ever this working? What did you learn from your experimentation?

One consideration: ndarray is 6.4kb minified whereas escodegen is 97kb minified.

Unfortunately I foolishly did not push any of my experimental changes and had a disk error. To reduce the build size, astring can be used instead of escodegen, which is ~16kb minified and supposedly much faster. Runtime performance should be unaffected barring constructor compilation. Additionally, it might be possible to move most of the code generation into the build process rather than occurring at runtime. I'll do some investigation to that end if the additional 16kb would still be too costly.
