Why would we need to put a breakpoint on a function that replaces the
XINT macro?  We've lived with a macro (where you cannot put a
breakpoint) for many years without any problems (AFAIK).  We have
debugger commands to display values of Lisp integers.  So I don't
think debuggability will be a problem in this particular case
(although it might be in others).
