New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu>: Actually, 'replace' 'Integral' with 'Integer' but keep 'Integral' for back compatibility.
>From python-ideas, where Guido said "Looking at >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number it seems that Integer is "special" -- >every other number type is listed as "<adjective> numbers" (e.g. rational >numbers, complex numbers) but integers are listed as "Integers". So let's just >switch it to that, and keep Integral as an alias for backwards compatibility. >I don't think it's a huge problem to fix this in 3.7b2, if someone wants to do >the work."
