It's a good thing that 66.6 won't be implicitly converted to an int since that would lose precision.

However, you're right that IronPython doesn't handle this correctly for
sorting an array. We already have one bug for sorting mixed-type arrays
(bug #63) but it's nice to add this case as well to the set we need to fix.
Talking of precision, for sorting, wouldn't it be more precise to convert int to float instead of float to int, when there is a mixture ?
Thanks,
