Thought so :)

Actually, many can be used with integers - any that returns an integer
if called with an integer parameter. Of course, using integer also has
this problem that we need to take overflowing into account - 2^62 +
2^62 should be 2^63, but it'll likely end up being -2^63 due to
integer overflow, which is an argument why never to use integers, bit
operations be damned ...

Man, the more I think about it, the more I feel like exploding.
