You are right, thanks.

Numeric 21 is out now by the way.

I missed fromstring(), because it is not a method on the array object,
as in the build in type.

Which documentation are you using?

The most recent I can find is this

I hate to complain so much :-), but why do they not distribute it with
the module itself. Also, I think it should be updated.
