Define a variable representing a number as a double:
<cfset y = val("15")>
<cfset arr = [y]>
Now run indexOf("15"). The value is not found because unlike CF functions, java
lists also consider data type when determining element equality.
15 = #arr.indexOf("15")# ==> -1 / not found
y = #arr.indexOf(y)# ==> 0 / found

Well my point was not that it is _not_ possible ;-) It was that indexOf is not
a straight equivalent of CF9's array functions. So before using it, be aware
of these two differences.

Honestly, I do not see the benefit of down to the java level for this. If you
are going to end up looping anyway, may as well use a native cfloop
array="...". It is
