Hmm, is there a notation to express an int literal. Better yet,
clojure should try to infer that if I do (+ v 2) where v was hinted to
be "int", 2 should be considered to be an int. The code starts
getting really messy:
(defn fib [a]
(let [v (int a)]
(if (< v (int 2))
v
(+ (fib (- v (int 1))) (fib (- v (int 2)))))))
And still, I believe at the recursive step will be converted into an
Object again and then casted to a value type. Would be nice to be
able to declare as:
defn fib [#^int a]
