I missed the beginning of this thread, but if you are trying to find out the 
basic type (int, float, list etc), you can use the same_type method.
eg.

<dtml-let r="2.0">
   <dtml-if "_.same_type(r, 1.0)">
     found float
   </dtml-if>
</dtml-let>

same_type will return TRUE if the two parameters are the same type. You can 
use this to test for float, int, list, etc.
