Can’t Integer be implemented in a more efficient way that it’s done currently?
Theoretically, sure. Practically, everything above a minor speedup would be very hard, I think. And, as Johan mentioned, Integers can't be unpacked, I don't see how that could be achieved, so for IntMap and the like, performance would be drastically worse even if Integer manipulation itself got significantly faster.
