I hate to be a killjoy, but doing that doesn't make anything more consistent, or more ready for CF becoming more strictly typed (G-d forbid that should ever happen - I might as well just use Java then!) Most languages that are more strictly typed do not use different comparison operators for different data types, generally. For example, (a == b) doesn't tell you whether a and b are strings or integers, just that whatever data type a is, b will also have to be (or at least, it will need to be implicitly cast to that data type if possible).
