The format is very limited. I have only used it with numeric data, and I don’t think that it can handle anything else (but I don’t know). I think that this style of data modification is a better fit in the underlying library, but generally this kind of character to integer conversion is a non-obvious transformation in many cases, so I don’t prefer its automation. That said, the decision is of course @leeper’s. |

Agree - I don't think we want to do automatic conversion here since it's lossy. |

Caveat: I am unfamiliar with the GraphPad format and use-case, so I don't know whether preventing errors by coercing characters and factors to numeric would be helpful or in fact make matters worse by hiding invalid data. Also, I have not tried this with content other than character and factor and have no idea what will happen. Thoughts, @billdenney ?
