try2int

<p>tolerance; if each numeric value in <code>obj</code> deviate from
the corresponding integers at most the value of <code>tol</code>, they are considered
to be integers; e.g. by default <code>1 + .Machine$double.eps</code> is considered
to be an integer but <code>1 + .Machine$double.eps^0.49</code> is not.</p>

<p>Attempts to convert a numeric object to integer, 
but won't if loss of information is imminent (if values after decimal
are not zero for even one value in <code>obj</code>)</p>

Enables computation of epidemiological statistics where e.g.
counts or mortality rates of the reference population are used. Currently
supported: excess hazard models, rates, mean survival times, relative
survival, as well as standardized incidence and mortality ratios (SIRs/SMRs),
all of which can be easily adjusted for e.g. age.
Fast splitting and aggregation of 'Lexis' objects (from package 'Epi')
and other computations achieved using 'data.table'.
