api.Client().ServiceGet() and int types

I'm implementing "juju get" via the API. In doing so, I moved over one
of our tests which did (pseudocode)

 set value=int64(0)
 DeepEquals(result, value)

And it used to work when ServiceGet was connecting directly to State.

Now that it goes via the API, the value is now a float64 (probably
because of JSON deserialization).

My guess is that the Mongo BSON type encodes int64 directly, but that
is lost when going via the JSON rpc.

So do we care? Are int types preserved in the rest of the system? I'm
guessing this will effect charms when they grab their settings.
However, can charms be strict about this today?
