[Discuss-gnuradio] Re: polymorphic type documentation (PMT)

[George Nychis]

1.  I have to check, but I think so

2.  Actually, this is a slight mis-conception from my documentation 
which I need to fix tonight.  pmt_integer() is not a public member of 
the PMT class.  You need to use pmt_from_long(X) which will return you a 
pmt_t which is an instance of a pmt_integer.  I need to make this clear 
and update my documentation.

If you look at any of the inband code or my MAC examples, you will 
always see pmt_from_long() and pmt_to_long()
