X::Numeric::CannotConvert vs. X::Numeric::Real #435

::Real is an alias for ::CannotConvert - CannotConvert is used only when converting from an Inf or NaN to an Int, and in all other numeric conversions, ::Real is used (which is mostly Complex to a Real)

These should be merged into a single exception type, which looks like it was the intent in

So if I understand correctly: remove ::Real and adjust the errata tests?
