The docs for unchecked-add 
(http://clojure.github.io/clojure/clojure.core-api.html#clojure.core/unchecked-add)
 only cover the case of both arguments being primitive longs. Calling with 
other argument types invokes behavior that is not currently documented. That 
may be intentional to allow the behavior to change in the future, or it may be 
an oversight in which case the docs could be improved to document the intended 
behavior for more argument types.

Regarding the current implementation, there is code to handle the case of 
calling unchecked-add with two Long arguments. In that case, unchecked_add 
behaves the same way as + does and throws the overflow exception.
