My guess is that it will happen not because someone really cares about it, but because a "Lisp_Object to EMACS_INT" conversion function (which also accepts bignums as long as they fit within EMACS_INT) will be needed elsewhere anyway and once you have that, you might as well call it XINT so it will "magically work".
