Approved with apprehension. I think biggystring should be moving towards stricter coercions for strings that aren’t necessarily valid numbers and the fixes to be applied at the call site. Things blowing up is better then unexpected number values silently making their way through algorithms. But, this is the way biggystring behaved before, so we must break.
