Subject: [PATCH] fixed #207 (stricter comparison of strings vs. numbers)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Some intentional edge cases remain, such as empty string equals zero
and disregarding trailing / leading blanks. Please don’t nitpick and
spare me the fundamentalism, plus discussing whether discussing the
discussing qualifies as fundamentalism :-)
