built in "integer" converter doesn't convert to integer if variable is real

[mmrj]

in a not strongly typed language (e.g. Julia), if I have the variable sampleInt that starts out as an integer (say, 10) but is then set to a real (say, 11.73), <span data-f-bind="sampleInt | i"/> displays 11.73 rather than 11 (trunc) or 12 (round).

if this is the expected behavior, is there a better name for the "integer" converter? i'm not sure what else it's doing...

this behavior is in both 0.9.0 and 0.10.0; didn't check farther back than that.

Behavior is correct (or rather, "as intended"), though as you pointed out the name is wrong in that case. The intention with this converter was to convert strings to numbers to pass on to converters down the chain. Maybe I should stop trying to be fancy and call this 'toNumber' as that's what this is? :) Then we can create a new 'i' converter which converts to integer.

either sounds fine to me : )
not high priority, just something to remind me next time we're working on converters.
