true, yeah i'll send a separate patch for that, then the first part
here shouldn't be necessary at all.

caution there are two methods in extjs here:

isNumber (which i used and has the properties you described)

and

isNumeric, which actually tries to parse the value and checks if
it's a number (not NaN), so that would have worked out better
(but still unnecessary if the pending object grid is fixed)
