Woah. That's awesome. So the Julia-implemented integer printing is that much faster. Very cool. That only leaves bootstrapping concerns. It would really, really suck to not be able to print integers or floats before bootstrapping. Floats, sure, but integers, that's brutal. It's already hard enough to debug changes in, say, `range.j`.
