Description

We have toInteger, toFloat, etc methods in DGM. However not all the methods which convert to numeric values which are available on String are avialable on Number. In addition there are no toBigInteger and toBigDecimal methods.

Also missing are toBoolean and toURI methods.

We need to make this more consistent.
