A similar problem came up a couple of years ago on the newsgroup but
the solution appears to have vanished off deja.com unfortunately.

Take a look at c-mapped-subtype in the online help. It shows an
example of converting integers to raw ints, etc. Using something like
this I think you can do what you want. I'm pretty sure the solution on
the newsgroup used that in some manner.
