This kind of grosses me out, but OK. This is sufficient as an argument
to demonstrate that math is not only for floating point math, but for
math in general. Although I still find it doubtful that we'd ever
replace, say, math.sqrt with a polymorphic sqrt -- in my head somebody
says "no, this would slow down existing Python programs by XYZ%" and
then it doesn't happen. Maybe I'm being pessimistic.
