basicnode.NewInt should return a pointer to plainInt, similarly to the other types (string, float, bytes, etc). When writing tests for this PR and mocking interfaces, I was getting a pretty interesting error: the Decoded version of an int was returning a *plainInt, while the basicnode.NewInt was returning plainInt, causing the mock to fail.

All the other node types work well. There is an inconsistency between how ints are created and assigned. This does not happen with other types. I assume this was something overlooked. It would be nice if this could get released.

ack, good find, nice to have tests that expose this kind of thing!

FYI @hacdias, I'm going to cut a release with this but I'm currently working through some traversal stuff that may either result in breaking changes or feature additions and I'd like to bundle that up in a larger release since we have a bunch of stuff backlogged. So I'll be getting there soon and this isn't forgotten (I now have untagged releases in my own go.mods which are uncomfortable so I'm alert to it).
