Description

bigdec handles java.math.BigInteger when converting to java.math.BigDecimal, but it does not handle clojure.lang.BigInt. Instead it treats a clojure.lang.BigInt as a Number, by casting it to long. This causes the following error:

Clojure 1.4.0-beta3
user=> (bigdec (inc (bigint Long/MAX_VALUE)))
IllegalArgumentException Value out of range for long: 9223372036854775808 clojure.lang.RT.longCast (RT.java:1123)

I was originally thinking of something like (BigDecimal. (.toBigInteger ^clojure.lang.BigInt x)). Adding a toBigDecimal method to clojure.lang.BigInt saves some object allocations and such. Probably more of a micro optimization, but it works.

Clojure 1.4.0-master-SNAPSHOT
user=> (bigdec (inc (bigint Long/MAX_VALUE)))

Thanks, Andy!

Add a case to bigdec to handle BigInts. Also eliminate a reflection warning in the ratio case while we are in there. Paul's failing case has been added to tests, fails before the fix, and passes after. Attempted to make it as run-time efficient as possible by creating a new BigInt/toBigDecimal, patterned after the existing BigInt/toBigInteger.
