ELIXIR CORE CUTS MAP LOOKUP WASTE

Two pull requests into Elixir's type system are eliminating needless rebuilds that could slow pattern matching in core compiler workflows.

PR #15786, merged into elixir-lang/elixir, makes negated map lookups skip rebuilding the remaining map Binary Decision Diagram when only the selected domain is needed [1]. The same author, Barna Kovacs, also landed PR #15785, which avoids rebuilding and hashing the canonical non-empty list top leaf when the tail is term() [2]. Both changes target the type system's hot paths, where construction of immediately discarded state was pure overhead. "Use the existing domain lookup helper directly so negated map lookups do not construct state that is immediately discarded," the PR description notes [1]. Expect modest but real wins in compilation times for type-heavy codebases. The commits are already in main, so pull them into any forks or nightly builds you track for Elixir core development [1][2].
