So, something like: (type 23) the reader makes a list of a symbol and a primitive, the evaluator evals to get a generic function and a primitive, then tries to apply the generic function to the primitive, can't find a primitive version, so boxes the primitive to an object and tries again, and then finds that there is a specific type function that takes long objects and applies that? (i.e. type isn't lying, but the evaluator is deceiving it)
Are there any docs for this or any way to trace the process? How would I work out what's going on in a given case?
