I'd be rather surprised if nth sudden

The other fns are ok, thanks to their separate heritage. drop, take, et al are
sequence functions, and proceed iteratively.
nth is of a different lineage. It w

Oops.
But nth can probably be fixed while keeping good performance:
(defn- small-drop [s n]
(loop [n (int n) s (seq s)]
(if (zero? n) s (recur (dec n)
Integer overflow.

I believe the bug can be blamed on "nth".
Using "nth", I make a function which should be identity on natural
numbers:
Clojure 1.2.1
user=> (defn ident [n] (nth (iterate inc 0) n))
#'user/ident
And it works, for reasonable size numbers:
user=> (ident 12345)
12345
user=> (ident 7654321)
7654321
Hi, Stu,
Loving your book!
I posted a reply earlier, through a different interface, which went
to "moderators". Sorry for the clumsiness, but I'm not familiar with
the mechanics of newsgroups.
