Follow-up Comment #2:

Indeed.  This is an inconsistency beteeen the Externalizable interface
(readExternalwriteExternal) methods in IntNum and the constructors int
IntNum.

Kawa literals are handled by (if the iteral's class implements Externalizable)
calling writeExternal, and then looking for a matching constructor or valueOf
method.

There are various solutions (including special-caing IntNum in the literal
support).  I'll take a look.
