Description
Convert takes any number of arguments and attempts to convert them into either easyuo id/types (if the argument was a number) or openeuo numbers (if the argument was a string). The 'sense' of conversion is automatically detected. Will also convert tables of types and strings of types joined with the underscore _ character. Thanks Boydon and Cheffe for the conversion routines used internally.
