I think a widely used library that does this transparently will make life
better for everyone. I hope the implementation I mentioned earlier can
save you some time :)

I don't think you need to worry about this, if the coercion changes the
semantic value, not just the representation or the precision, the sender
is in error. Sending '10.1' to a slot that is semantically an integer should
be undefined, though in practice you get '10'. Receivers need to run
domain checks in any case...
