-Every class has the `out` method that can be used to get a text version of the object. For a lot of classes, this method returns internal information that is not really useful for the end user. But for every `NUMERIC` class, the `out` method returns a text representation of the number that the `NUMERIC` object represents.

+The reverse conversion is available for all standard numeric types (INTEGER_8, INTEGER_16, etc.) using the features to_integer_8, to_integer_16, etc. of class STRING. The string should contain a valid string representation of the corresponding numeric value. This can be checked by calling is_integer_8, is_integer_16, etc. before calling the conversion functions.
