Richard,

What about

put "3.141592653589793238461" is "3.141592653589793238462"

Guess what Rev says? (True.) Longstanding behavior in xTalk, going back to
HyperCard days.

but

put "3.141592653589793238461" & null is "3.141592653589793238462" & null

returns false.

Seems like the "best practice" right now is: to coerce string-based
evaluation over possible numeric evaluation, use the & null operation.
