Use of bug in `cfor` macro

[nicolasstucki]

The cfor macro accidentally generated the desired code by using a bug in beta-reduction. This bug will be patched scala/scala3#16390 and cfor will need to be updated.

See dotty-staging/spire@7f630c0...99ea909#diff-9cd0f3a9df06a2589472aa8dc960fd2a65a2b65f2f8c257addda1c86ebc31469

After staring and printlning for an hour I believe the situation is slightly different.

My opinion is, that the fix in dotty actually fixes a bug in the cfor macro. However the unit test is incorrect and therefore insists on the wrong implementation. I will create a pull request to fix the test.

Turned out to be not that straight forward (see closed PR). Maybe someone comes up with a compatible solution.

Out of curiosity, is this why I saw cfor unit test fail when I tried a spire build with 3.3.2?

Yes.

How was the unit test introduced in the first place?
