Thanks for that last comment, it actually prooves our point ;) Yes, SLOTs are *generally* numeric strings, as they are generally tied to major versions. But as soon as more than the major part of the version is important ints don't work anymore (and never ever mention float again, version numbers aren't floats), and in some cases you find non-version data in SLOT (like $CTARGET).
