I hope not, though of course the right behaviour might be seen as a bug.

When I give a real number and ask for an int, I want it truncated.

Taking a look at 7.6.1...

1.5 --> 2
2.5 --> 2
3.5 --> 4

So it is doing clever rounding.

on 10.2.6 I get the same results.

It sounds like its one of those fixed then broken then fixed then
broken.
