So, I guess some division by zero is somewhat undefined.
If one removes
then
returns infinity as the unboxed versions.
Although doing so, also causes a change to
which then becomes `1/0`, whereas it previously threw Divide by zero.
From Numbers.java we see that unboxed math does not protect against division by zero:
whereas boxed versions do:
This inconsistency is also reproducible with clojure 1.8:
