In the absence of identifying an actual problem this would solve, I
would oppose adding *gratuitous* complication. Abusing your sense of
aesthetics isn't "an actual problem" in this sense to me, although it
may be to you. Of course you're welcome to make any code changes you
like in your own copy of Python <wnk>.
.>>> _int = int
.>>> def int(*args): return _int(_int(*args))
....
.>>> from sys import maxint
.>>> int(maxint)
.2147483647
.>>> int(-maxint-1)
.-2147483648
Pretty! };>
Cheers,
Nick.
