Ooops. Then I wonder how you could have compiled -n for n being in NNI
before version 1.3. Maybe formerly the compiler silently did some
coercion to Integer and later retracted that back to NNI. If that is/was
the case, then I am strongly against it.

I'm still in the class of people who don't like the compiler inserting
coercions. Maybe I would change my mind if such insertions are done on
the basis of a good theory. But even then I don't know whether I want
it. Maybe I simply made a programming mistake and the compiler then via
coercions produces code that compiles but might not do what I want.
