PyInt_AsLong can already fail with OverflowError - pass it a PyLong object and
it will try to convert it using the nb_int slot and PyLong_AsLong.
PyInt_AsLong is actually somewhat misnamed - it is really PyNumber_AsLong,
since it accepts arbitrary objects and coerces them to integers via __int__,
instead of just accepting PyInt instances.
