I do not understand the argument for accepting one but not the other.



That's fair enough.

I do still consider accepting 'int' to be less unsafe than accepting 'float', because the behavior of ints can be reasoned about more easily and because they to not experience implicit rounding.

I do not particularly care whether or not 'int' is accepted or not for that reason, but I care about 'float' not being accepted. So perhaps it's best to accept neither as you suggested.

Best regards
