I encountered a bug in my code today where I was trying to save 0.3 to a
PositiveSmallIntegerField with an initial default value of zero, and the
model kept showing zero even after saving it. This was super confusing
because it looked like the model just wasn't saving, until I eventually
realized that the value was being rounded.
Suggested improvements would be either:
1) Raise an error when attempting to save a non-Integer value
2) Update the documentation to specify that floats/decimals are rounded to
the nearest integer
