Feature!
The symbol java.math.BigInteger refers to the BigInteger class, and
'show' shows that. The symbol bigint refers to a function, so 'show'
finds its class (clojure.core$bigint__4128 on my build here) and shows
you the details of that class, which are largely the same as
clojure.lang.AFn.
You might find the 'source' macro to be more useful for inspecting
functions like 'bigint':
user=> (source bigint)
(defn bigint
"Coerce to BigInteger"
{:tag BigInteger}
[x] (cond
(instance? BigInteger x) x
(decimal? x) (.toBigInteger #^BigDecimal x)
(number? x) (BigInteger/valueOf (long x))
:else (BigInteger. x)))
nil
