/**
 * The <code>number</code> function converts its argument to a number as
 * follows:
 * <ul>
 * <li>a string that consists of optional whitespace followed by an optional
 * minus sign followed by a Number followed by whitespace is converted to
 * the IEEE 754 number that is nearest (according to the IEEE 754
 * round-to-nearest rule) to the mathematical value represented by the
 * string; any other string is converted to NaN</li>
 * <li>boolean true is converted to 1; boolean false is converted to 0</li>
 * <li>a node-set is first converted to a string as if by a call to the
 * string function and then converted in the same way as a string
 * argument</li>
 * <li>an object of a type other than the four basic types is converted to a
 * number in a way that is dependent on that type</li>
 * </ul>
 * If the argument is omitted, it defaults to a node-set with the context
 * node as its only member.
