I had the same thought -- is_an_int() is not doing anything useful and
it would be better to get rid of it.  If we do have an integer-looking
that doesn't fit in int64, then maybe treating it as a double is not
wrong.  (I suppose if we wanted to have numeric values beyond int64
range and not lose precision, we would have to add separate support for
that.)
