I guess that backwards compatibility should be important here, but I hope there are stronger reasons for breaking it.

tonumber() provides backwards compatibility. And the recommendation to use it was in the third edition (of the lua book), if not before, referring to 5.2.

I realize that the fault is mine, but with backwards compatibility I meant that the same operation (10 + "10") gives different results with different Lua versions. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
