That's actually a slight over-simplification.
The extend command actually returns two values:

  - the output of the command (a string), and
  - the exit value of the command (an integer)

This latter value can be retrieved using the OID

   .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.3.1.4."index"

Unfortunately, this return code is limited to the
range 0-255 (being the values handled by _exit(2))
So that probably doesn't help you with this
particular problem.

Mike's suggestion of having the client side convert
from string to integer is probably the best approach.
