I've just found that selection_data_to_lisp_data returns a
cons when a selection data is 32-bit number. I think it is
better not to give two meanings for a cons type even if we
can distinguish them by checking the type of the car part.
So...

My opinion now is that using text-property both in
x-get-selection-internal and x-get-selection is better. If
you don't have a farther counterargument, I'll install a
change along my original line.
