<p>The current implementation keeps an array of integer objects for all integers
between <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-5</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">256</span></tt>, when you create an int in that range you actually
just get back a reference to the existing object. So it should be possible to

undefined. :-)</p>
