Should make it easier for scripters to determine the types of parts of strings in order to get accurate results as opposed to manually deriving them from the string. Could anyone delete the unnecessary parts to this page? This is my first time editing and I can't find it :P

The trouble is, that when it comes to floats it's hard to tell them from integers if the decimal has been stripped. Or strings from keys... or strings that look like any of the other types. You can guess but you can't be sure; if you are building a function on top of logic that isn't perfect then you end up with something that isn't all that useful. -- Strife ^{(talk </div></div>}
