It seems .as_integer_ratio() has been resolved.
what about the original .is_integer() request? (Or did I miss that somehow?)
Anyway, it seems like __index__() should play a role here somehow... isn't
that how you ask an object for the integer version of itself?
Could float et al. add an __index__ method that would return a ValueError
if the value was not an integer?
Of course, as pointed out earlier in this thread, an "exact" integer is
probably not what you want with a float anyway....
