If you box Ints and Longs separately then collection keys stop working, as I said at the start of this thread. There is no such thing as intuitive. The behavior above follows from a clear rule that can be followed locally in all cases. What you propose, in addition to breaking collections, requires more contextual reasoning to understand code in a bunch of scenarios. Could we meet on IRC and discuss this later today? Feel like we are going in circles. Stu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
