For round-trip consistency, a generic non-formatted num-to-char-string

So this (in Perl 5):
% perl -wle 'print 100 / 2'
50
you would want in Perl 6 to print 50.0 instead?
If you said "print 100 / 2" in Perl 6, I would expect you to get "50"
out because you did a division of 2 Int. Whereas, if you said "print
100.0 / 2.0", then I would expect a "50.0" output, as you did a
division of 2 Num.
