Just as an experiment, I removed the calls to nb_int and ran the test- suite. The only test failures were in test_ctypes, test_getargs2, and test_math. The test_math failure was from math.factorial depending on PyLong_AsLong to convert floats; I've fixed this in r76916 (trunk) and r76917 (py3k). One consequence of not having PyLong_AsLong automatically call nb_int would be that math.factorial(decimal.Decimal('-0.53')) is no longer valid.
