\DOC prefer_int \TYPE {intLib.prefer_int : unit -> unit} \SYNOPSIS Makes the parser favour integer possibilities in ambiguous terms. \KEYWORDS parsing \DESCRIBE Calling {prefer_int()} causes the global grammar to be altered so that the standard arithmetic operator symbols ({+}, {*}, etc.), as well as numerals, are given integral types if possible. This effect is brought about through the application of multiple calls to {temp_overload_on}, so that the ``arithmetic symbols'' need not have been previously mapping to integral possibilities at all (as would be the situation after a call to {deprecate_int}). \FAILURE Never fails. \SEEALSO intLib.deprecate_int, numLib.deprecate_num, Parse.overload_on, numLib.prefer_num. \ENDDOC
