Comment (by Rarst):

 I don't know on top of my head, but is there (significant) loss of
 precision if float is converted to string and back? Unlike integers,
 floats do not necessarily map 1:1 to string representation.

 Not touching them in first place seems to be preferable approach to me,
 over potentially lossy type juggling.
