Why are Floats not automatically converted? (but Integers are)

[sebnozzi]

When passing parameters in a JavaScript call Integers and Strings are converted just fine; but Floats aren't.

Why is this so?

Consider this code:

require "js"

JS.global[:window].call(:alert, 123) # works
JS.global[:window].call(:alert, 123.5) # FAILS

Instead, one has to resort to this:

JS.global[:window].call(:alert, JS.eval("return 123.5")) # works

Is this intended? Am I missing something? (seems like an overkill to me)

Also see my other thread about not being able to call to_js to a Float value.
