I think a widely used library that does this transparently will make life 
better for everyone.  I hope the implementation I mentioned earlier can 
save you some time :)

I don't think you need to worry about this, if the coercion changes the 
semantic value, not just the representation or the precision, the sender 
is in error.  Sending '10.1' to a slot that is semantically an integer should 
be undefined, though in practice you get '10'.  Receivers need to run 
domain checks in any case...
