custom types for System.Int32

I am trying to add a custom ScriptMethod to System.Int32

I have the following XML file that I load with Update-TypeData

<Types>
<Type>
<Name>System.Int32</Name>
<Members>
<ScriptMethod>
<Name>Test</Name>
<Script>
write-host $this
</Script>
</ScriptMethod>
</Members>
</Type>
</Types>

If I run the command
$int = 5
$int.test()

I get my result as expected. It writes itself ($this) to the console.\

However, if I try to run the method directly on the number 6 I get a
bad constant error

PS 8 > 6.test()
Bad numeric constant: 6.times.
At line:1 char:7
+ 6.times <<<< ()

If I pipe 6 to get-member i see my custom member is there

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Andy

266# 6.tostring()
Bad numeric constant: 6.tostring.
At line:1 char:10
+ 6.tostring <<<< ()

Try it this way:

267# (6).tostring()
6
