Converting a string to Num. Currently I have made a function for it, but it would have been easier converting if it had been available as a String method.

external sync function parseInt(num : String) : Num

lib.unilib.parseInt = function(num) {
return parseInt(num);
};

Is a global function ok? Has been there for a long time: parseNum

sure but easier if lets say .toNum() had been there to just select it when you type “.”

But on the other end I have to look more at the documentation ;-)
