I would still like the int subclass, though, as it would be an aid to me on the Python side. I think you'll know what I'm going to say. :)

Yup, saw that coming. ;)

1) Usually, you won't need it (see the responses from people who don't care about the value).

They are not me (or others like me (we do exist! we do! we do!).

2) When you do, wrapping the item in int() doesn't seem too bad to me.

If it was just once or twice, sure, but I use them as names for ints, which means I use them as ints, which means I would have a boat load of int() calls.
