Before this BTree fix, you could store integers in an IxThingy (or xIThingy) that were too large to fit in a 32-bit C variable. This would cause the values to overflow and be silently stored incorrectly. With the fix, a TypeError is raised when an attempt is made to store a value that is too large. Whether this fix will adversely affect your application, I don't know. Hanno seems to think it will. :) Avoiding silently storing values incorrectly looks all good to me.
