Would there still be an int type and a long type in Python 3.0, or would the
notion of a long be be dropped. If it were dropped, then the int
representation would be transparently represented as a long if the size of
the number could not fit in an int. If long is dropped then the long function
could be added to the list of builtins that will disappear in Python 3.0.
