index is OK, but is there a reason __integer__ would be
rejected?

__int__ roughly follows the low-level C implementation,
and may do odd things on unusual input.

__integer__ properly creates a conceptual integer, so
it won't lose or corrupt information (unless the class
writer does this intentionally).
