Hello Rasmus,
to have this idea posted a second time. I think we should have all native
types be auto converted and add a flag for the _ex version of the parsing
api that prevents from auto conversion. However we are to close to release
so i think we should do that only in 5.1.1 (ilia most probably doesn't want
to have rc6?).
regards
marcus
