   Although the RFC does indeed not define an `integer` type, I think we should 
follow the JSON Schema spec on this:
   * `int` and `long` cannot have a fractional part
   * whole numbers are ubiquitous enough to warrant a shorter definition than 
"number without a factional part"
   
   Based on the ubiquity of integer numbers, one can even argue that the 
addition of `integer` in JSON schemas actually fixes an omission in the RFC 
(just as one can argue the opposite, because it makes the spec simpler).
