Beware that "%identity" is an unsafe feature that breaks all safety
guarantees if used badly.
If you were, for example, to change your definition of "foo" (in a way not
always representable as integers, such as adding a constructor with
parameters), int_of_foo would become incorrect. The compiler wouldn't warn
you, and you could get pretty bad failures (segfaults). You're on your own.
