What I understand here is as int() is "ambiguous", in the future if
you want to specify how you want to convert a float to int.

But ceil and floor returns a float. And round and trunc will return an
int. So, how I could convert a float to its upper int? Like this?:

>>> trunc(math.ceil(.3))
1

BTW, int is not giving me a deprecation warning:

>>> int(.1)
0

Thanks!
