No, Aleph-2 is big. Any non-infinite number you can name in your
lifetime is small ;-).
Pretty much any time I really need integer speed, I also deal with
numbers that can get much larger than 10^19th, because I tend to be
doing combinatorics or cryptography.
True, this represents a small fraction of all programs. The question
I'd really like answered is how much difference does this make for
non-numeric clojure code, where only a few percent of the calls to
core functions are calls to integer ops.
