Thought so too, but since there's no small decimal, or any other decimal, 
its survivable. Though it does get a bit confusing, especially since int? 
exclude bigint, for which you have to use integer?, which gets very 
confusing if that includes or not biginteger.

My conclusion is, its already all a bit of a mess, so maybe the broken 
window principle applies here (even though that principle is actually to 
say broken windows are not a good reason to break more of them, but...).
