Description
The docs on the web site indicate the type of the "value" option is "Number". However, a quick look at the source shows that it's looking for "number" via typeof. It would be great if some more flexible data type support was added.

Replying to scott.gonzalez:
Why are you using Number objects in the first place?
Well, I'm not :-) However, a friend of mine was and after finding out why his progress bar was reverting to a value of zero, I thought it reasonable to assume that some people might have a case to use them. I also think it's reasonable to assume that values might be fed into this component from other libraries which utilize Number objects - in which case it would be necessary to intervene and perform a type conversion.

In general jQuery and jQuery UI do not explicitly handle the object versions of primitives like strings and numbers.

In that case, consistency rules and I agree. Thanks for providing the best js lib on the planet!
