Why does Coccinelle's scripting interface pass numbers as text/strings?

I don't know. I didn't design it. Just use int to convert it to a number, if you
need that. The ocaml version uses numbers.

I would appreciate if the Python scripting interface would also use an integral data type for them. I guess that it will be more efficient when the conversion between text and numbers can be avoided.

I'm not super eager to change it for backward compatability reasons. I don't think efficiency at this point is an issue.
