In general I like this RFC. I don't see why to_string would not accept and cast integers and floats to strings. And even if there is a valid reason it is not mentioned.
If this gets accepted you should consider the naming in the user documentation. Beginners should not consider these functions "safe" as in "security", but only "safe" as in "no data loss".
