In order of preference for me, it's "value", "int_value", and
"type_int_value".  But it doesn't really matter.  I feel there were a
couple bugs like the size vs value_len and re-using the iterator.  You
have addressed the real problems so lets not worry about variable names.
Whatever you pick is fine.
