Right, but with just the prim branch and a shorthand for long literals, you get:
(defn ^:static fib ^long [^long n]
  (if (<= n 1L)
    1L
    (+ (fib (dec n)) (fib (- n 2L)))))

which really isn't that bad.  So my claim is that the prim branch gets
you far enough along the road to easy fast numeric code, without
screwing with the numeric tower.
