Fixed in rev#96790 of EiffelStudio 15.05 intermediate release.
I think "Value" would be better. To Eiffel veterans, it is obvious from the return type that the result is a non-zero value (i.e. no sign bit, larger max_value), whereas "Integer value" might imply some relationship to INTEGER.
Any suggestions to improve this? Just "Value"?
