Devils' advocate: round or use floor() or something faster (for x86 there is
a fast cast lib that works well) .  If you use floats to represent ints, you
don't need to be exact.

If we eliminate ints as a possible data type, as suggested, then everyone has no choice but to use floats and incur the problems they entail.


What problems?
