Ummm. My face is red.

In my overzealousness to promote this solution I simply wrote out
what I thought the console session would look like.

Also, I implemented the conditionals in the same way as the other
functions in my float library that would try to convert strings
and integers to floats if possible.

Mea culpa, and I'll avoid answering emails before coffee in the future.

Cheers, and sorry for the noise,
