Programmers want to know that it is a number, and not possibly some complex type that is expensive to store or copy. Adding helper functions hides this sort of information. It also gives strongly-typed languages a way to be inconsistent, some might think the serial should be a special type (so you can't pass a non-serial to the compare function), while others will think it better to let the user know it is a number.
