We cannot drop it, that will break lot of things.
like what? why should script write care, how avp names are internally
implemented. the only case that comes to mind is if someone has been
using two avps that have the same string representation, e.g., i:123 and
s:123. even that can be easily fixed by dropping : and use s123.
i have always used int avp names and don't have any problem to convert
them to strings.
