Is there any way to perform primitive integer division in Groovy compile static 
mode? If I do:

(int)(12/2)

Then it coverts 12 and 2 to Integer objects, calls a method that performs 
BigDecimal division, then calls "as int" (not just intValue) on the result, 
which itself does instanceof checks.

I tried intdiv, and it is more efficient, but it still converts to and from 
Integer objects so that it can do A.intValue() / B.intValue(), and storing that 
result in an Integer itself.

I see if I just do 12 + 2, it does a true primitive operation in the bytecode. 
Is there any way to perform primitive division in Groovy the same way it is 
done in Java?
