Summary: parameters for int(), str(), etc.

Initial Comment:
The built-in functions int(), str(), float(), long() are documented as
requiring a parameter, but the type/class unification has changed them
so that they return a false object without a parameter:

>>> int()
0
>>> str()
''
>>> float()
0.0
>>> long()
0L
