[chuck-users] std.abs always does floats

[Ge Wang]

Hi Graham and all!

As you may have seen on the main 'chuck' list, 1.2.0.3 is released and 
we have hopefully resolved this issue.

     std.abs is for int
     std.fabs is for float

Sorry for the API changes.  Also, sorry for the mountain of spam you 
are about to receive...

Best,
Ge!
