There are many places in the C implementation where a slot returns an
int rather than a PyObject.  There other replies in this thread seem
to support altering the signature of the slot to return a PyObject.
Is this setting a precedent that _all_ slots should return a PyObject?

Consider the following third behavior:

>>> class foo(object):
...     def __len__(self):
...             return 'foo'
...
>>> x = foo()
>>> len(x)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: an integer is required
