As an aside, does anyone else think that it would be
useful to have a builtin which rounds and converts to
an int in one go? Whenever I use round(), I almost
always want the result as an int, and making me do
it in two steps seems unnecessarily bothersome.

Since automatic float->int coercion is being increasingly
disallowed, use cases for this are becoming more and more
common.
