Just a quick update on this. I tried the following functions: ```shen (define do-times 0 F -> done N F -> (do (F void) (do-times (- N 1) F))) (define...

On another topic, based on the code I see on `backend.js` I thought the `asX` wrappers would not be generated for this case: ```shen * M N -> (* M...

Using `const` vs IIFEs: ```shen (define let-test N -> (let N+1 (+ N 1) N+2 (+ N+1 1) N+3 (+ N+2 1) N+4 (+ N+3 1) N+5 (+ N+4 1)...

Just out of curiosity, I tried the version with the `asNumber` wrappers removed, and as you said, there is almost no runtime overhead (or not at all, because of measuring...
