Yes, it make sense to me.  I installed this into gnulib:

2006-02-26  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * modules/intprops: New file.
        * MODULES.html.sh (Numeric conversion functions <stdlib.h>):
        Add intprops.
        * modules/getloadavg (Files): Remove lib/intprops.h.
        (Depends-on): Add intprops.
        * modules/human: Likewise.
        * modules/inttostr: Likewise.
        * modules/openat: Likewise.
        * modules/sig2str: Likewise.
        * modules/userspec: Likewise.
        * modules/utimecmp: Likewise.
        * modules/xnanosleep: Likewise.
        * modules/xstrtol: Likewise.
