Altough I think that "horribly unintuitive" is an exageration - it is
at most slightly unintuitive - and that I, myself, wouldn't write code
like this (just a matter of programming style, really) this behaviour
seems fine and coherent so it's probably a good thing to numify to the
number of objects.
