This restores the trait that was lost in 216e85f.
Num
will eventually be broken up into a more fine-grained trait hierarchy in the future once a design can be agreed upon.To contribute to the discussion about the future of Rust's numeric traits, please see issue #4819 and the wiki page.
I have also switched to implementing NumCast using macros. This removes a significant number of lines of code.
