OTP-8304 Incompatible changes in the experimental NIF feature. Changed the

          NIF function prototypes in order to allow more than 3 function
          arguments. Also an incompatible change in the return value of
          erlang:load_nif/2. Added support for references, floats and term
          comparison in NIFs. Read more in the documentation of erl_nif and
          erlang:load_nif/2.
