Certainly I didn't intend that. Can't speak for the others.

I';m going to go ahead and change the test to a test for a general integer.
I don't see much point to a specific range test, since it seems likely
there is no way to determine the actually workable range.
Testing for a fixnum is an implicit range test, and doesn't make any
more sense than testing for n < 1000 or 1000000 or whatever.
FWIW
