It's more efficient if ints which fit in a machine word (or a machine word
minus one or two bits used for tagging them as ints) are represented as
such, rather than using a generic big int representation.

It doesn't mean they should be treated differently in the language.
It can be a hidden implementation detail, visible only for those who write
extensions in C.
