String to Float, String to Int (again)

Monkey Forums/Monkey Bug Reports/String to Float, String to Int (again)

From documentation:
String to Float: Conversion is target dependant.
String to Int: Conversion is target dependant.

i.e. Int("1000.0") returns:
C++_Tool, Glfw_Game, iOS_Game: 1000
Html5_Game: 1000
Flash_Game: 1000
Android_Game: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1000.0"
Xna_Game: System.FormatException: "Input string was not in a correct format."

The Monkey code should operate in the same way on all platforms. At the moment type casting String->Int/Float works unpredictably. I suppose that sooner or later all Monkey users have happened to write their solution to this... bug. This is wrong.

Maybe the time has come to eliminate this?
