IntToChar now NumberToString

Special thanks to J. Apple Muncy [kb9mnx@fourway.net] I was able to reduce
my original code from 60 lines to 3 lines.  (Oh, my original code was
pathetic, wasn't it?)

This new and improved template function will convert any number of any kind
(signed, unsigned, int, double, short, long, float, etc.) to its string
equivalent.

For example:

int myInt = 923746;

becomes

string myString("923746");

This isn't exactly how it works but I wrote that little bit just to complete
your mental picture.
