Just to clarify what I wrote before, I certainly agree with this
point. My worry is that this particular change (in the meaning of
integer?) has two pitfalls: it is hard to tell which uses of integer?
have to change and thus easy to miss some, and there may be unforeseen
implications in the way the number system hangs together that would be
disrupted by such a change.

I can certainly see how one might want to redesign the number system
of Racket to something that would fit better with a type system but
I'd be wary of tweaking the existing one.
