suggesting here is one example:
I think you might not have read what I suggested (it is different than
the one I emailed to you privately). What you want is fully supported.
If you must be passed an int, use the +int hint.
I'd rather use -int, then +int and make people who want loose typing
do the extra bit, because native typing should be strict.
