I don't think it is a wise path to interpret EAPI's as integers at all. 
There should not be guarantees of forward or backward compatibility 
between versions. Interpreting them as integers seems to imply that. 
Basically I think that EAPI could be anything wanted, similar to SLOTS. 
Of course using digits is easy for humans.
