Figuring out if a text value in SQLite is a valid integer or float
— Given a table with a `TEXT` column in SQLite I want to figure out if every value in that table is actually the text representation of an integer or floating point value, so I can decide if it's a good idea to change the type of the column (using [sqlite-utils transform](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#transforming-a-table)).
