Just curious: what does +(string) accomplish, differently than say parseInt()? ---

Did you mean to leave this "Temporary" bit in there?

It's just a different style of ensuring it's a number, I suppose. I saw this style in an example years ago and have been doing it this way for a while. I don't know if there's any either advantage either way.

Nope. I'll remove that.

It doesn't ensure it's a number however:
```
;eval
Parameter(s): +("blah")
Result (number): NaN
```
Just as an FYI.

Yep. In this block of code, I did a regex test to make sure argv[1] is all digits, so that I'd be able to expect it could be cast to a number successfully.
