I dunno. I can argue that it should coerce that. It'll certainly be able to coerce a random scalar to int for you, so it's not a big stretch to coerce conformant arrays of them. On the other hand, it's likely to be expensive in some cases, which isn't so much of an issue for single scalars/ints/strs.
If the coercion is lazy, then its not really any more expensive than coercing individual scalars, as needed.
