Yeah, a bad habit it may be. That said, I had not seen an index on bintoc() fail neither, until yesterday

Seems like I may be in for a change of habit after all, (I'm assessing the changes currently), until the index on Integer fails one day

Still, I wonder, if bintoc() index fails under certain circumstances, there's a probability that an integer index will just as well. I'm just curious as to why and under what circumstances
