parseNumber does not properly anticipate BigNumber ... still?

[MeoMix]

Hey there,

I tried to pack an object which stored values as BigNumber. This failed.

function parseNumber (arg) {
  var type = typeof arg
  if (type === 'string') {
    if (utils.isHexPrefixed(arg)) {
      return new BN(utils.stripHexPrefix(arg), 16)
    } else {
      return new BN(arg, 10)
    }
  } else if (type === 'number') {
    return new BN(arg)
  } else if (arg.toArray) {
    // assume this is a BN for the moment, replace with BN.isBN soon
    return arg
  } else {
    throw new Error('Argument is not a number')
  }
}

Looks like there is some code which tries to guess for BN, but fails to do so properly.

Any intent on fixing this?
