Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-24580:
-------------------------------------
The numeric-favoring comparison for all-digit strings (e.g. "0001" == "001" ->
true) is intentional, long-standing behavior in Simple, introduced in
CAMEL-15587 (2020) as a performance/usability optimization. It has been in
place for years and is correct as-is.
Given that, I would not go with either the narrow or broad scope proposed above
-- this is not a bug. [~karkra321], please close this as Not A Bug / Won't Fix.
Users who need strict String equality for zero-padded identifiers should
compare with explicit quoting/handling rather than relying on == doing text
comparison.
