Yes, that's the problem. I should have said it all works fine if this is an
abstraction loaded with actual arguments. But I still wonder if there's
anything I can do. I do need to use A_GIMME ayway, changing that is not an
option.

 This is what I'm doing, but if I check if it's a float (illegal), then $1
is a float... so, well, just to be clear, there's no way around this, right?
