Hmm... surely if it's impossible to know what the user wants, the best thing to 
do is just pass the values along without converting them. The client then has 
the option to coerce whole-number floats to ints if it wants to.

Anyhow, if I can force all numbers to be floats with [sendtyped ...( that 
solves my my problem in practical terms.
