But I think, it's easy to get my point. (defn range ([^long lower ^long upper] work with ints here) ([lower upper] work with boxed numbers here)) As long as the limits fit into a long, no overflow can happen. So we can safely do fast primitive math inside. As soon as one of the limits is a boxed number we do the usual stuff. So one can use range transparently and still get fast results if provided with primitive input.
