Do we also need `toFloat` and `toInt` functions? Seems like using 
explicit functions will be safer than casting.

For toInt I'd expect an exception if the value is outside the range of 
possible ints. For toFloat it might be nice to have a flag
argument to give the developer the choice of having it throw if the 
value is outside the range of floats or return INF or -INF,
or possibly the user should just check for infinite values themselves.
