Integer and number display

How about an option in the "number" and "integer" primitives to display the current values, instead of having to connect them to a string panel ?
They could look like string panels with the name displayed as a banner on top, and the values listed underneath.
I bet that would tidy up a bunch of definitions out there...
Also, double-clicking on such a primitive could bring up a table in which to enter values.
Quite a bit more snappy than "right-click" + "set number"...

Another way of doing this would be simply using string panels as a container for numbers and integers.
In that case, it should be made possible to use values coming from string panels in expressions, which is not the case right now.

Cheers,

I can't see any valid reason why an Integer or Number could not benefit from all sorts of other things, but i think that it would take more time and resources to add that than to beef up the text panel (i really don't know).
