    I volunteer to set up a cron job which greps for OnUpdateInt
    :-)

    The problem with _changing_ the existing semantics is that
    programmers will not notice that they need to adapt types
    from long to int.  That leaves 64 bit platforms with a new
    set of problems, because the upper half of the long won't be
    initialized.
