Change type of toFloat to number -> Float

[rehno-lindeque]

I'm wondering whether it might be useful to change the type of toFloat from

toFloat : Int -> Float

to

toFloat : number -> Float

so that one could write functions like

module Number.Format where

prettyPrint : number -> String
prettyPrint n = 
  let print = {- ... -}
  in print (toFloat n)

This might also be a more generic proposal to discuss than issues like https://github.com/elm-lang/core/issues/4 which might be repeated for various functions.

Having said that, it's not a big deal to just implement prettyPrint as

prettyPrint : Float -> String

for now...
