Re: [Chicken-hackers] Numbers egg interaction with other compiled code.

No, it's that loading the numbers egg does not in any way affect code that
was compiled without it.  Your fred module doesn't know about bignums and
cannot unless you put (use numbers) into it.  That causes negative? and
the others to be properly rebound to their bignum-respecting versions.

I've been talking privately with felix about a strategy for changing
this, using hooks that the numbers egg installs procedures onto rather
than just rebinding identifiers, but he's worried about performance.
