It's also potentially lossy if you incremented and decremented until integer
precision is lost. My vote is for an int type check. No casting.
operator.index() is built for that purpose (it's what we use these
days to restrict slicing to integers).
+1 for the type restriction from me.
We don't need a type check. Just pass integers (obviously the only
right type) to it.
When a float is used, think of debugging such a thing, e.g. a float from
integer division. I don't care if float (or generally non-integers) are
not allowed in threading.Semaphore, but please make it fail with a bang.
