Not sure if the "overloading of constants" case should be affected, would
people depend on it staying unmodified?
I agree on truncation to integer. This is consistent with h
Consistency is good.
A case could be made for either truncating to integer, or rounding to
integer.
I'm inclined toward round - since int() is a builtin (round isn't),
which makes it easy to get the truncate behavior. And one is more
likely to get a mathematically sensible result.
