I thought about it, but the comment in test_builtin.py,
# Reject floats when it would require PyLongs to represent.
# (smaller floats still accepted, but deprecated)
convinced me that raising TypeError on large floats is a feature. I don't have
a strong opinion on this issue, but I think a conservative approach is not to
change current behavior in the maintenance branch unless it is clearly a bug.
I did add a test checking that "smaller floats still accepted, but deprecated."
