Just ask for what you want, and NSNumber will return it as that type. If you 
want a float, call -floatValue. If you want an int, call -intValue.
If you want to know what the actual type stored was, check the .objCType 
property, which is a type-encoding string of the sort created by @encode. These 
are fairly easy to parse. If you need to access that, though, it's fairly 
likely that you're doing something wrong...
