Both, the idea and implementation look fine. Personally, I hate the existing type conversion rules, and I would like to use something like this by default (may be with exception for null/false/true handling), but it may be a big compatibility break, so introducing to_int() is better than nothing.
some notes: - it's probably make sense to implement these function as a new opcode(s) in VM - in case of conversion failure it's better to throw exception (to_int() returning FALSE is a pain).
