Questions about the design of conn.WriteAny

[clytzelbj]

Hi, I have a question about the design concern about the conn.WriteAny function.

If I use the conn.WriteInt and pass a int parameter to it, it will write a integer response to the client.

// WriteInt64 writes a 64-bit signed integer to the client.
func (w *Writer) WriteInt64(num int64) {
    if w.err != nil {
         return
    }
    w.b = AppendInt(w.b, num)
}

However, if I use the conn.WriteAny and pass the same parameter to it, the function will write a string format of integer response which are quoted with a "" to the client.

func AppendAny(b []byte, v interface{}) []byte {
    switch v := v.(type) {
    case SimpleString:
         b = AppendString(b, string(v))
    case SimpleInt:
         b = AppendInt(b, int64(v))
    case SimpleError:
         b = AppendError(b, v.Error())
    case nil:
         b = AppendNull(b)
    case error:
         b = AppendError(b, prefixERRIfNeeded(v.Error()))
    case string:
         b = AppendBulkString(b, v)
    case []byte:
         b = AppendBulk(b, v)
    case bool:
         if v {
	    b = AppendBulkString(b, "1")
         } else {
	    b = AppendBulkString(b, "0")
         }
    case int:
         b = AppendBulkInt(b, int64(v))
    case int8:
         b = AppendBulkInt(b, int64(v))
    case int16:
         b = AppendBulkInt(b, int64(v))
    case int32:
         b = AppendBulkInt(b, int64(v))
    case int64:
         b = AppendBulkInt(b, int64(v))
    ......
    }
}

Can you give me any ideas about the design principles here?
