This is what you are suggesting, how to define the variable. I.e., *to
replace "int?"*.
ii = 3

This is what I believe what will happen if I parse json '{"ii", 3}' into
it, or read 3 from DB into it. If not, then you didn't do a good job
explaining your point.

This demonstrate how I can deal with a "int?" variable in C#.
So, all in all, you are either shooting without fully understand what I am
asking, or don't understand what "int?" actually means in C#, or both.
