Henri Biestro commented on JEXL-420:
------------------------------------
It is always possible to use an arithmetic (ie a JexlArithmetic derived class)
of your choosing.
In your case, you might want to override the method {code}public double
toDouble(final Object val){code} so it returns NaN when encountering a String.
As for the general case, I'd rather not weaken the type system; the empty
string is already an (historic) convenient exception.
