I'm really surprised that Mozilla makes this distinction. It's definitely not
called for by the JavaScript language. I'd be tempted to call this a bug in
Mozilla rather than a bug in Safari.

There's no reason why we couldn't check for values that happen to fit in
integers at the JavaScript bindings level and pass them as integers, but you
still would not be able to distinguish 42 and 42.0.

Are you absolutely sure that Gecko's JavaScript engine allows you to tell the
difference between 42 and 42.0? That is *very* surprising and really sounds
like a bug to me.
