#791: integer? returns true for special flonum types on 64-bits machines
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  sjamaan            |       Owner:  ckeen
     Type:  defect             |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  major              |   Milestone:  4.8.0
Component:  core libraries     |     Version:  4.7.x
 Keywords:  flonums, integers  |  
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 The C_i_integerp function doesn't first unpack flonum values before
 checking if they represent infinity or NaN.  On x86-64, this means that
 {{{(integer? +nan.0) => #t}}} and {{{(integer? +inf.0) => #t}}}.

 A suggested initial patch is at http://paste.call-
 cc.org/paste?id=2d5b17c595ae79bacbe36c52d4613ccd3e0373a2, but Christian
 said he'd work on a proper patch which includes changes to the testsuite
 to catch these errors (for the other number predicates too).
