note 87919 added to function.define

It is not right that comparing a define with an integer always returns true. It is correct to state that comparing zero against a define that is alphabetic will result in true - because in this case the define is a string which will be coerced to being an integer, and if it contains nothing but letters and spaces, the result of the coercion will be zero. Note that changing the code shown below to use the integer 1 results in the comparison failing - only zero will compare equal and this is correct. Similarly, changing the code below so that the name is '1stephane' (which when coerced to integer is 1) also results in the comparison failing, again correctly.
