Looks good, only it doesn't seem to work for division:

(set! *warn-on-reflection* true)
(set! *unchecked-math* true)
(/ 1 2)

Reflection warning, NO_SOURCE_FILE:1 - call to divide can't be
resolved.
1/2

What I want in this particular program is a truncating, unchecked
division on longs, but there doesn't seem to be any way of getting
that using these constructs. Even for ints you need to explicitly call
unchecked-divide-int:

(/ (int 1) (int 2))
Reflection warning, NO_SOURCE_FILE:1 - call to divide can't be
resolved.
1/2

(unchecked-divide-int (int 1) (int 2))
0

I'm guessing the problem here is that compared to the other unchecked*
functions, unchecked-divide-int does two additional things: it gets
rid of the fractional results and it truncates the result to int. I
can't find any way to do that with longs.

ps: I realize that in these examples, I could use a bit-shift.
