Yes. The value is coerced to int, that is int(value) will be run on
it. If you pass a type that can be coerced to an int, no error will be
raised, so be aware of that.

This one is less obviously a problem, a typical form would actually be
passed the string '1.5' (not the float 1.5), which would in fact raise
a ValidationError.
