[weld-dev] ref guide (re)draft ready

[Dan Allen]

Great idea Gavin ;) I should have picked up on your cue of attaching drafts
to e-mails.

-Dan

p.s. Keep the following in mind, which I wrote in the "notes" section before
the first chapter:

Note that this reference guide was started while changes were still being
made to the specification. We've done
our best to update it for accuracy. If you discover a conflict between what
is written in this guide and
the specification, the specification is the authority--assume it is correct.
If you believe you have found an
error in the specification, please report it to the JSR-299 EG.
