Comment (by felix):

 Overflowing from fixnums to flonums is the default behaviour for numerical
 operations i nearly every place in the chicken libraries, so I don't
 really see much of a problem here.

 I'd like to close this ticket, since all workarounds appear like a hack to
 me, and numbers should always be optional (even a hook with be a hack).
