Summary: curselection() in Tkinter.py should return ints

Initial Comment:
I noticed that in Tkinter.py curselection() always
return strings instead of ints, (users have to use
map(int, list) to get the int values) but why? Here's
the code I found in Python 2.2/2.3. It seems someone
has noticed the problem before.

    def curselection(self):
        """Return list of indices of currently selected
item."""
        # XXX Ought to apply self._getints()...
        return self.tk.splitlist(self.tk.call(
            self._w, 'curselection'))
