num

  $v = $v->num;
  $v = $v->num(2, 5);
  $v = $v->num(-3, 7);
  $v = $v->num(2, undef);
  $v = $v->num(undef, 5);

String value needs to be a non-fractional number (positive or negative) and if provided in the given range.

size

  $v = $v->size(2, 5);
  $v = $v->size(2, undef);
  $v = $v->size(undef, 5);
