I'm not clear enough on how the standard_transformations work to say
if this should happen or not. We definitely need a better API to our
parser to allow fixing this sort of issue.

By the way, there *is* something that is definitely a bug, though,
which is that it happens in Python 3, even though 1l is not valid
syntax in Python 3.
