Would QuickCheck know to try 999999 as input? Most of the possible inputs would give correct results, and those that don't, aren't very 'special', such as 0,1,-1,MAX_INT, and so on.
Don't many QuickCheck-inspired libraries have special cases to ensure they generate common numbers like those? I could be misremembering, but I would have sworn I read that in the documentation of the last library I looked at (whose name escapes me).
