By returning the value instead of just a bool, we open the option to return the casted value, which is what we'll do in the follow-up, which will let us de-duplicate NumericIndex._validate_fill_value. By separating out the np-specific parts, we'll be able to improve perf in a couple of places.

would it be better to use None as the return value rathe than using exceptions as control flow ? (e.g. performance)

That becomes ambiguous with if the actual element is None.

There are some performance concerns i have with this function, but try/except overhead is not among them.
