For some reason I was afraid to add trivial accessors to classes
in earlier PRs, so we now have dozens of classes with public fields. I'm
not exactly looking forward to refactoring them all at once but I'll
do so gradually.
In a bunch of cases, this actually ends up simplifying the code as
to_number will handle something such as:
```
Optional<I> opt;
if constexpr (IsSigned<I>)
opt = view.to_int<I>();
else
opt = view.to_uint<I>();
```
For us.
The main goal here however is to have a single generic number conversion
API between all of the String classes.
This will effectively allow us to use C++ code as an input for the
compiler. This would be useful for testing, since otherwise we would
have had to specify tests as a spec-like XML, which is not exactly the
most developer-friendly experience.
