Problem Description:
When using EQ to compare strings that are numbers it assumes they are numeric and the same. It should be comparing them as a string.
<cfset a = "10">
<cfset b = "10.">
<cfoutput>#a EQ b#</cfoutput>
In CF 10 / 11 / 2016 the result of this is YES.
They are not the same, b has a . in the string.
Lucee correctly shows this as false
Steps to Reproduce:
Run the code above
Actual Result:
Returns true
Expected Result:
Should return false
Any Workarounds:
Compare correctly sees these as different strings
