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.
