-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 When using setObjectValue (NSControl) with MacRuby floats and integer,
 though they are a subclass of NSNumber,they are not properly set
 (copied?).

 For example in macirb:
 irb(main):001:0> framework "Cocoa"
 => true
 irb(main):002:0> tf = NSTextField.alloc.init
 => #<NSTextField:0x20024b5a0>
 irb(main):003:0> num = NSNumber.numberWithFloat(23.3)
 => 23.2999992370605
 irb(main):004:0> tf.setObjectValue(num)
 => #<NSTextField:0x20024b5a0>
 irb(main):005:0> p tf.stringValue
 "0"
 => "0"
 irb(main):006:0> p num.superclass.superclass
 NSNumber
 => NSNumber
 irb(main):007:0> tf.setFloatValue(23.3)
 => #<NSTextField:0x20024b5a0>
 irb(main):008:0> p tf.stringValue
 "23.29999923706055"
 => "23.29999923706055"

 or, more simply:

 irb(main):013:0> tf.setObjectValue(23.3)
 => #<NSTextField:0x20024b5a0>
 irb(main):014:0> p tf.stringValue
 "0"
 => "0"

 To contrast with proper behavior, with the following obj C code:

   NSTextField *tf = [[NSTextField alloc] init];
   NSNumber *num = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:23.3];
   [tf setObjectValue:num];
   NSLog(@"string value of tf %@", [tf stringValue]);


 results in the following:

 2009-12-01 14:48:56.553 TextFieldSet[12012:a0f] string value of tf 23.3
