Problem Description:
The documentation for isValid() implies that "float" and "numeric" types are interchangeable (by being listed together). However, they yield different results when dealing with "formatted" numbers (e.g., "1,000.00")
Steps to Reproduce:
Output the following:
#isValid("numeric","1,000.00")#
#isValid("float","1,000.00")#
Actual Result:
isValid("numeric","1,000.00") returns false
isValid("float","1,000.00") returns true
Expected Result:
The two isValid() calls should return the same result, either true or false (probably false, because "1,000.00" is not treated like a number in other instances, such as isNumeric())
Any Workarounds:
Always use "numeric" for the isValid() type, assuming you want "1,000.00" to be considered non-numeric.
