INTEGER() function command

[compsystems]

Hello BP, to give similarity to the Python syntax, please overload the INTEGER command

integer() as a function synonym of expr() and iPart() cmd

example
integer("42") [enter] 42
integer("1.25") [enter] 1

I note that the float command does operate in this way =)

float("3.14") [enter] 3.14
float(10) [enter] 10.0

integer does not exist in Python, it's int, and it's already in Xcas if you select Python syntax compatibility.

[compsystems]

Ok, but that the integer() command is available in xcas is also a good idea.

In addition, in some cases it is required to extract only the entire part of a number that is enclosed as a string.
integer("1.25") [enter] 1

About expr() cmd in the case of expr(5) return 5 and not expr(5)

int does that in Python mode. Please check before asking.
