Hey, if there is no bug here, could we get this issue closed?
Alternatively, I'd be interested in doing the required change in 
documentation/error type if that's seen to be the right solution.

Personally, I think returning False instead of raising an error would indeed 
mask bugs as mentioned by Zufu. As for the error type to be raised, the 
argument type itself isn't wrong, it's just greater than the maximum so I feel 
an OverflowError type is right instead of TypeError. So maybe just clearer 
documentation is needed as suggested by Aldwin and no code change? Just my two 
cents though.
