Guido:
I don't like trueint very much. Personally, I'm fine with calling it index
index is OK, but is there a reason integer would be rejected?
int roughly follows the low-level C implementation, and may do odd things on unusual input.
integer properly creates a conceptual integer, so it won't lose or corrupt information (unless the class writer does this intentionally).
