Re: Don't compare zero exponentials in strings as equal

I actually do a lot of lexicographical comparison with ISO8601 date strings. I also have numerical string comparisons, but the truth is I didn't think they would be cast to integers so that is a potential bug in my code. When I use < on strings I expect that they will both compare as strings. In other places, I explicitly cast one or both operands to integers or float. I do see the problem that many people could use < and > on strings expecting numerical comparison, but I believe most people expect lexicographical comparison like me.
