[racket] TR Numeric Tower

I feel like this is closer, but I'm not sure how to make those single
precision floats into doubles (and then fix whatever else is wrong after
that :)

#lang typed/racket
(require racket/flonum)
(: S->F : String -> (Option Flonum))
(define (S->F s)
  (define n (string->number s))
  (and n
       (real? n)
       (* n 1.0)))
