And there's also a lot of functions that complains about that it isn't an integer when they get a bignum.
A more abstracted interface to convert whatever is on the stack to the data types the functions want would be a really good thing. Not that it would completely solve the bignum case, but improving the error from "not an integer" to "integer too big (> MAXINT)" or somesuch would still be worthwhile.

Why not? They already have to know about bignums.
