 Replying to [comment:13 was]:



 > * Jason said above that IntList.sum doesn't have a doctest for the
 overflow case... but it does, so I don't know what he meant.


 I meant that the doctest looks like this:

 {{{
 Note that there can be overflow, since the entries are C ints::
     sage: a = stats.IntList([2^30,2^30]); a
     [1073741824, 1073741824]

 }}}

 That's it.  There's no test there; you're just creating a list, not
 summing anything.

 cannot bring myself to use that in this situation.  That  function
 actually returns a Python *list* of Python ints for every single index
 into the list that is being sliced!  That would easily lead to factor of
 50-100 slowdowns on realistic operations:

 > This stats code I'm writing is really meant to be industrial strength --
 the sort of code maybe somebody would use in "realtime" processing of
 large datastreams.    I don't want slow functions anywhere in there.


 I agree.
