DIFFERENCE.
The implementation (which happens in java, a strongly typed langauge) has to
deal with the actual type of variables, by CF has no concept of boolean vs.
integer. This is a trait of loosely typed languages.
Personally, I consider it a helpful feature, though it can certianly be
viewed as 'buggy', even though it's an intentional design characteristic of
the language. It definitely has weird behaviour when you're letting the
language compiler/runtime do a bunch of implicit casting for you. However,
as long as your careful and understand what's happening, it's a great
benefit.
