Recent changes to the arithmetical operations mean that many arithmetic operation results are now coerced to Integer, even if both input variables are Long.
This is unexpected behaviour - e.g. Commons Jelly expects that Long*2 => Long Seems to me that the result of an arithmetic op should generally be the same as the "bigger" type, i.e the combinations should be treated as follows: Integer op Integer => Integer Long op Integer|Long => Long BigInteger op Integer|Long|Biginteger => BigInteger BigDecimal op Integer|Long|Biginteger|BigDecimal => BigDecimal As before, I suggest we keep: Float|Double,anything => Double Numeric Literals were (and are) treated as Integer, which works well with the above scheme.
