That can be a good compromise and may make happy the cons camp.
However, I would not like to have "11an" returns 0 but raises an
error. I can live with "[0-1.]" being converted to integer or float as
it is the case now. Even I would rather prefer a strict hinting and
let the user of a method or function do the cast (for the reasons
explained numerous times in this thread).
