I don't think it is a wise path to interpret EAPI's as integers at all. |

There should not be guarantees of forward or backward compatibility |

between versions. Interpreting them as integers seems to imply that. |

Basically I think that EAPI could be anything wanted, similar to SLOTS. |

Of course using digits is easy for humans. |
