[Python-Dev] int() and math.trunc don't accept objects that only define __index__

[Rémi Lapeyre]

Another point in favor of the change I just noticed is that int()
accept objects defining __index__ as its `base` argument:

    >>> class MyInt:
    ...     def __index__(self):
    ...             return 4
    ...
    >>> int("3", base=MyInt())
    3
    >>> int(MyInt())
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or
a number, not 'MyInt'
