Ah, I see that all three `found` methods here are called directly.  I agree 
that this makes a rewrite that tries to handle the other cases here harder.

Please at least adjust the code to make the ` || (!RHS.isInt() && 
!RHS.isFloat())` check redundant: put the int case in an `if (RHS.isInt())` 
block (which should probably come before the `isFloat()` block) and emit a 
diagnostic if none of the cases are triggered.
