Integer only support

Why such a harsh limitation? What about Float comparison?

I monkey patched it locally and it works great. BTW, there are 3 casting, performance wise, save the first casting results and check against it.

def is_out_of_range?(search_value)
 Float(search_value) > LARGEST_PQ_INTEGER || Float(search_value) < SMALLEST_PQ_INTEGER
end

def is_integer?(string)
 true if Float(string) rescue false
end

You're right.
