Convert string variable to integer

I'd like to convert my string variable to an integer, how can I do it? Are the some conversion functions supported by the templating language?

Escaping templating - colon space is special in yaml

# https://taskfile.dev

version: '3'

tasks:
  demo-ok: echo '{{`a:b`}}'
  demo-fail: echo '{{`a: b`}}'
  demo-alt-ok: "echo '{{`a: b`}}'"

# https://taskfile.dev

version: '3'

tasks:
  demo-ok: echo '{{`a:b`}}'
  demo-fail: echo '{{`a: b`}}'
  demo-alt-ok: "echo '{{`a: b`}}'"

Notice the space difference between first and second case causes a failure. The failure seems to happen at parse time, how come yaml parser is confused?

Dependencies not being run

I think I've found a bug....

version: '3'

tasks:
  hello:
    cmd: echo 'Hello World from Task!'
    deps:
      - there
  hello2:
    cmds: [echo 'Hello World from Task!']
    deps:
      - there
  there: echo "there" && sleep 5 && echo "done"

version: '3'

tasks:
  hello:
    cmd: echo 'Hello World from Task!'
    deps:
      - there
  hello2:
    cmds: [echo 'Hello World from Task!']
    deps:
      - there
  there: echo "there" && sleep 5 && echo "done"

If I now run:

$ task hello
task: [hello] echo 'Hello World from Task!'
Hello World from Task!
$ task hello2
task: [there] echo "there" && sleep 5 && echo "done"
there
done
task: [hello2] echo 'Hello World from Task!'
Hello World from Task!

$ task hello
task: [hello] echo 'Hello World from Task!'
Hello World from Task!
$ task hello2
task: [there] echo "there" && sleep 5 && echo "done"
there
done
task: [hello2] echo 'Hello World from Task!'
Hello World from Task!

the hello task doesn't run the dependencies, hello2 is fine Is this expected or am I doing something wrong?
